1
Prep the ingredients
Cut the beef into thin shreds. Slice half the garlic and ginger into thin pieces; finely mince the remaining half. Cut the chilies into thin shreds, removing seeds for less heat if desired.
2
Marinate the beef
Place the beef shreds in a bowl. Add the sliced garlic and ginger. Drizzle with light soy sauce and about half the oil. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
3
Stir-fry the aromatics
Heat the remaining oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant and golden.
4
Cook the beef and peppers
Add the marinated beef shreds and chili shreds to the wok. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for 2–3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the peppers are slightly softened. Season with salt. Drizzle with a little sesame oil and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
