Tender beef slices marinated in a savory mixture, quickly stir-fried with fragrant scallions and crisp green peppers. This classic Chinese home-style dish delivers bold flavors in under 30 minutes.
This quick-cooking dish showcases the aromatic punch of scallions paired with juicy beef. The marinade keeps the meat tender while the high heat creates a satisfying sear.
Place sliced beef in a bowl. Add soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, white pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Mix well until the liquid is absorbed. Let rest for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the white parts of the scallions into thin diagonal slices and chop the green tops into 2-inch lengths.
Slice the green bell pepper into thin strips. Have the ginger, garlic, and scallion whites ready within reach of your stove—you'll be cooking quickly.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, then add the beef in a single layer. Let sear for 30 seconds without stirring, then stir-fry until just cooked through, about 1-2 minutes total. Remove beef and set aside.
Add remaining oil to the wok. Stir-fry ginger and garlic for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add the green pepper and scallion whites, toss for 30 seconds. Return beef to the wok, add oyster sauce, and toss everything together for another minute. Sprinkle with scallion greens, give one final toss, and serve immediately.
