How to Make Beef Bean Sprouts

  1. Thinly slice 250g sirloin steak.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sugar (optional). Add the sliced beef and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp water, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil to create a slurry.
  5. Pour the slurry into the pan with the beef. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes clear (about 1 minute).
  6. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  7. Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Add the 200g bean sprouts and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  8. Add the cooked beef back to the pan and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).
