This Beef Chop Suey is a classic Chinese beef stir-fry with a real sauce that tastes just like you'd find in a real Chinese restaurant! A great recipe for using up leftover vegetables from the fridge!

Ingredients

MARINADE BEEF:

  • 300 g 0.67 lb flank steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine, Shaoxing wine, or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon oil

SAUCE:

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Dash of black pepper

STIR FRY:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2.8 oz /80g broccoli
  • 2.8 oz /80g sugar snap pea/snow pea
  • 2 stems scallion, cut into 1.5"/3cm piece

Instructions

  • Cut the beef - To make the flank steak more tender, always cut against the grain.
    You can refer to my other post "How To Velvet Beef For Stir Fry?" There I show you how to cut the beef and how to tenderize it.
  • Marinate the beef - Marinate it with all the ingredients. Mix well and marinate for at least 10 minutes (you can also leave it overnight). Add the cornstarch 10 minutes later.
  • The sauce - Mix all the ingredients. Set aside.
  • Prepare the vegetables - Wash and prepare the vegetables. Set aside.
  • Pan fry the beef - Place the oil in a large frying pan and heat over a medium-high heat.
  • Add the steak to the pan in a single layer (so it gets a good sear) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. When the steak is cooked, remove it from the pan.
  • Fry the spices - Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the garlic to the same pan and fry for 1 minute.
  • Fry the vegetables - Add broccoli fry for 1 minute. Add water and cover the pan to steam the broccoli. Then add the onion and sugar snap peas for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Bring the sauce to the boil and then add the steak, bell pepper and spring onions for 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and swirl to enhance the flavor. Remove from the heat immediately.
  • Serve immediately with rice. Garnish with sesame seeds.
