Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
• 1 piece Red chili (optional, sliced for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the beef to the wok. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Sprinkle the black pepper over the beef and toss to combine.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and stir everything together. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and coat the beef.

Step 8

Remove the wok from the heat and transfer the stir-fried beef to a serving plate.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced red chili and green onions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
