Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the beef into bite-sized pieces. Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add a little cooking oil, and stir-fry the beef slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt as you cook until the surfaces are lightly browned. This step helps to lock in the juices, making the beef more flavorful.
Step 2
When the beef is about halfway cooked, add all the seasoning ingredients (1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp plum extract) to the pan. Stir-fry everything together until the sauce coats the beef evenly. This will enhance the savory flavor.
Step 3
Once the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has blended well, add the washed bean sprouts and thinly sliced scallions. Stir-fry quickly over high heat; this is key to keeping the bean sprouts wonderfully crisp. Cook for just 1-2 minutes, until the bean sprouts are slightly wilted but still retain their crunch. Finally, drizzle in sesame oil for aroma, turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve. Enjoy this delicious beef and bean sprout stir-fry with a warm bowl of rice or as a cool accompaniment to a refreshing beer!
