How to Make Beef Garlic Scapes Stir Fry
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Slice 1 lb beef sirloin across the grain into thin strips (about 1/8 inch thick). Add to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- While the beef marinates, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup of garlic scapes (or substitute with 1 cup chopped green onions or green beans) and cook until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Immediately drain the garlic scapes and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain again, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
- Wearing rubber gloves, cut 1-2 small Thai chilies (or to taste) in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely slice.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add the marinated beef to the hot wok in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Stir-fry until browned but still slightly pink inside, about 2 minutes per batch. Use the remaining oil as needed.
- Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the sliced chilies to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the beef, any accumulated juices from the bowl, the cooked garlic scapes (or substitute), and 1/4 cup of beef stock (or water) to the wok. Stir-fry until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
