How to Make Beef With Green Beans
- **Marinate the Beef:** In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry), 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced thinly against the grain into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- **Stir-Fry the Green Beans:** Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound trimmed green beans and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- **Blanch the Beans:** Add 1/4 cup water to the wok, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until beans are tender-crisp.
- **Remove Beans:** Transfer the green beans to a bowl and set aside.
- **Sauté Aromatics:** Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok and increase heat to high. Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and stir until fragrant (about 15 seconds).
- **Stir-Fry the Beef:** Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until cooked through (about 3-5 minutes).
- **Combine & Serve:** Return the green beans and any accumulated liquid to the wok. Stir to combine and heat through. Discard the ginger.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
