Ingredients
| 1 | lb beef flank steak or 1 boneless sirloin steak |
|---|---|
| 1 | tablespoon vegetable oil |
| 1 | teaspoon cornstarch |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | teaspoon sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon soy sauce (light or dark) |
| ⅛ | teaspoon white pepper |
| 1 | lb bok choy (about 7 large stalks) |
| 2 | green onions (with tops) |
| 2 | tablespoons cornstarch |
| 2 | tablespoons cold water |
| 3 | tablespoons vegetable oil |
| 1 | teaspoon gingerroot, finely chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon garlic, finely chopped |
| 3 | tablespoons vegetable oil |
| ½ | teaspoon salt |
| ½ | cup chicken broth |
| 2 | tablespoons oyster sauce or 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce |
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. |
