Oyster Sauce Beef Stir-Fry — Home-styleGuangdong home cooking.

Ingredients

• flank steak
• oyster sauce
• light soy sauce
• cornstarch
• vegetable oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine beef slices, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix gently until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. (Beef slices glisten with a thin, glossy film)
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates instantly. (Water droplet skitters and vanishes in under 1 second)
3. Add oil, swirl to coat, then add beef in a single layer. Let sear undisturbed for 1 minute. (Edges of beef turn light brown and begin to curl slightly)
4. Flip beef and stir-fry for another 1–1.5 minutes until just cooked through but still tender. (Beef turns uniformly light brown-gray with no pink visible)
5. Turn off heat immediately. Transfer to a plate and serve hot with steamed rice. (Steam rises steadily from the beef pile)
