All the ingredients for this easy beef stir-fry recipe are cooked in one wok (or skillet), so not only is the meal prep fast for this healthy dinner, but cleanup is quick too.
Ingredients
12 ounces beef flank steak, trimmed
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry sherry plus 1 tbsp., divided
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce, preferably lee kum kee premium
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound baby bok choy, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 8 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted chicken broth
Directions
Cut beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine the beef, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tsp. sherry and cornstarch in a medium bowl; stir until the cornstarch is no longer visible. Add sesame oil and stir until the beef is lightly coated.
Combine oyster-flavored sauce and the remaining 1 Tbsp. sherry in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok (or a 12-inch stainless-steel skillet) over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in vegetable oil. Add the beef in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Using a metal spatula, stir-fry until lightly browned but not cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate.
Add bok choy and broth to the pan. Cover and cook until the bok choy greens are bright green and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef to the pan, add the reserved sauce and stir-fry until the beef is just cooked through and the bok choy is tender-crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
