Ingredients
1 lb.
sirloin steak
1 1/2 tbsp.
cornstarch
2 tbsp.
low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp.
Shaoxing wine or dry vermouth
2 tsp.
oyster sauce
1 1/2 tsp.
Sriracha sauce
1/2 tsp.
toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp.
peanut or canola oil
1 tbsp.
minced fresh ginger
2
clove garlic
6
scallions
kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Steamed rice
Toasted sesame seeds
Directions
  1. In a shallow bowl, toss the sirloin with the cornstarch and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat the peanut oil until shimmering. Add the sirloin and stir-fry over high heat until browned and the edges are crisp, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a plate.
  3. Add the ginger and garlic to the wok and stir-fry over high heat until golden, about 1 minute. Add the sirloin and scallions and stir-fry over high heat until the scallions just start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the Mongolian beef over steamed rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.
