  • 2.5 mL Kikkoman® Tamari Soy Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cooking this exquisite dish is straightforward. Let’s break it down step by step.

Step 1: Marinate the Beef

  • Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness. In a bowl, combine the beef with water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, Tamari soy sauce, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

  • While the beef marinates, chop your vegetables. Mince garlic and slice the onions, bell peppers, and scallions. This prep work makes the cooking process seamless.

Step 3: Cook the Beef

  • Heat 30 g of oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry until it’s browned and nearly cooked through, about 2–3 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 4: Start Stir-Frying Vegetables

  • In the same pan, add another 57 g of oil if needed. Then, toss in the minced garlic and let it sizzle for a moment. Next, add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and dried chili peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5: Add the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, cooking wine, Tamari soy sauce, and chili sauce. Add this mixture to the stir-fried vegetables and give it a good stir.

Step 6: Combine Beef and Cook

  • Return the cooked beef to the pan. Mix everything so the beef is coated well with the sauce. Add scallions and stir for another minute. You want everything to blend beautifully.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  • If desired, sprinkle some grated ginger and rice vinegar for extra flavor. Give it a final stir. Serve hot over fluffy rice or your preferred side!

Notes

Here are some handy tips for perfecting your dish:
  • Beef Selection: Choose fresh, good quality beef. Flank steak is ideal due to its tenderness.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If your pan is too crowded during cooking, the meat may steam instead of fry.
  • Control the Heat: Adjust the heat as you cook. High heat is essential for proper stir-frying.
  • Prep Ahead: You can marinate the beef a few hours in advance or even overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Garnish for Style: A sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped scallions can enhance the dish’s appearance.
