Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinade)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for marinade)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more as needed)
  • 3 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (for sauce)
  • 1/4 cup water (for sauce)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for sauce)
  • cooked jasmine or white rice (for serving)
  • optional sesame seeds or sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Toss until evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Heat ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  • Add another ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear for 1–2 minutes without stirring, then stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until browned. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Add the minced garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to the beef. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Return the green beans to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and green beans.
  • Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Add bell peppers or snap peas for extra veggies. Use chili garlic sauce or sriracha for a spicier kick. Beef can be swapped with chicken or tofu.
