Tender ribbons of beef and golden mushrooms glazed in a savory sauce, brightened with scallions and ginger. A quick weeknight stir-fry that balances richness with fresh aromatics.
This high-heat wok technique creates the perfect texture: caramelized mushrooms, seared beef with a blush of pink inside, and vegetables that keep their snap. Have every ingredient prepped before you turn on the flame—stir-fries wait for no one.
Toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of wine and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning while you prep the vegetables.
Heat a wok or heavy skillet over medium-high until smoking. Add half the oil, then arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Let them sear undisturbed for about 3 minutes until deeply golden, then flip and brown the other side. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining oil to the pan. Lay beef slices in a single layer and sear for 1 minute per side until well-browned but still slightly pink in the center. Remove and set aside with the mushrooms.
Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger and scallion whites; stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant. Return beef and mushrooms to the pan. Pour remaining wine around the edges. Whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water, then drizzle in while tossing to create a light glossy sauce. Season with both soy sauces and a pinch of sugar. Scatter scallion greens over the top, toss once more, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
