Ingredients
- 300 grams beef (thinly sliced, such as flank or sirloin)
- 300 grams cauliflower (cut into small florets)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped for garnish)
- 1 piece red chili (optional, sliced for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the beef by slicing it thinly across the grain. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well and toss the sliced beef in the marinade. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 3
Wash and cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets. Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear the beef for 30-40 seconds on each side until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Pour 3 tablespoons of water into the pan, cover it with a lid, and let the cauliflower steam for another 3-4 minutes until it becomes tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and return the seared beef to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the beef to finish cooking and the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions and sliced red chili.
Step 9
Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice and enjoy!
