Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin
• 200 grams Garlic scapes
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the slices in a bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the beef, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef marinates, trim the garlic scapes and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl it around the pan.

Step 6

Add the beef slices to the hot wok in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned, but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 7

In the same wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the garlic scapes to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are vibrant green and slightly softened.

Step 9

Return the beef to the wok along with any juices that accumulated in the resting bowl. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and scapes.

Step 10

Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.

Step 11

Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and serve hot with cooked jasmine rice.
