Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds flank steak, London broil, or boneless sirloin, trimmed of fat and gristle
3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 1/2 tablespoons canola or corn oil
3/4 cup very finely shredded fresh ginger
4 whole scallions, ends trimmed, cut into very fine shreds
5 cups bean sprouts, rinsed lightly and drained
2 1/2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices about 1/8-thick; cut those slices into 1-inch squares. Put the beef in a bowl, add the marinade, and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let the beef marinate for 1 hour at room temperature, or longer if possible in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet, add 3 1/2 tablespoons of the oil, and heat until near smoking. Add the beef and stir-fry over high heat until it loses its raw color and the slices separate. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Clean out the pan.
  • Mix the ingredients for sauce together.
  • Reheat the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, heat about 20 seconds, and add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Cook for 20 seconds, until fragrant, then add the bean sprouts and toss lightly over high heat. Add the rice wine, and stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes, then add the sauce and the cooked meat. Cook until the meat is heated through and everything is coated evenly with the sauce. Scoop the beef onto a serving platter and serve with rice and a vegetable, if desired.
  • Mix the ingredients for sauce together

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover steak and I used it to make this dish. It turned out really well and I will definitely be making it again.

I made this recipe with chicken instead of beef and it turned out great! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was just as flavorful as it was with beef.
