Instructions

• 1. Begin by trimming the fat from the beef and cutting it with the grain into 2-inch strips.
  2. Then, cut the strips across the grain into 1/8-inch slices.
  3. In a glass or plastic bowl, toss the beef with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of salt, sugar, soy sauce, and white pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Next, separate the bok choy leaves from the stems. Cut the leaves into 2-inch pieces and the stems diagonally into 1/4-inch slices, ensuring not to combine them.
  5. Cut the green onions into 2-inch pieces.
  6. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with water.
  7. Heat a wok until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkled in the wok.
  8. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and rotate the wok to coat the sides. Stir-fry the beef, gingerroot, and garlic until the beef is browned, approximately 3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok.
  9. Add another 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the wok and stir-fry the bok choy stems for 1 minute.
  10. Stir in the bok choy leaves and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
  11. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
  12. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 15 seconds.
  13. Stir in the beef and oyster sauce, heating it to boiling.
  14. Garnish with green onions before serving.
