Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 300g beef slices (sirloin or flank steak)
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 50g pickled ginger, julienned
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced (optional)
• 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
• For Beef Marinade:
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• For Sauce:
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Steps

1. Marinate the beef slices with light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, cornstarch, and cooking oil for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Mix well.
3. Heat cooking oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef from wok and set aside.
4. In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry pickled ginger, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers (if using) for 2-3 minutes until pineapple is slightly caramelized and bell peppers are tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
6. Serve immediately with hot white rice.
