Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Beef

    Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Marinate Beef

    Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 5

    Cook the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer. Allow it to sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a nice brown crust.

  3. 6

    Stir-Fry the Beef

    Stir-fry the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is cooked through and no longer pink. If using, add the chopped red chili for a spicy kick.

  4. 7

    Add Spring Onions

    Add the chopped spring onions to the skillet and stir-fry for another minute until they are slightly wilted.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the dry fried beef over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with fresh coriander.
