Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Rinse with cold water.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, then sear marinated beef for 2-3 minutes until browned. Set aside.
  3. Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet for 30 seconds, then add the beef back and stir in ground black pepper.

  • Omit oyster sauce or substitute with hoisin sauce.
  • Add bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for variations.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
