How to Make Beef With Bean Sprouts
- Marinate sliced beef (1 lb) with 2 tablespoons light soy sauce and 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat your wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the hot wok.
- Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add 1 cup bean sprouts, 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (any color), and 1/4 cup chopped scallions to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Return the beef to the wok. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 1 minute).
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
