  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch (mayzena)

• For Cooking:

  • Oil for frying

• For the Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir well to create a marinade.
   • Add the beef slices to the marinade and mix thoroughly, ensuring that the meat is well-coated with the seasoning mixture. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Beef:

   • Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil for frying.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef slices. Fry for a few minutes, just until the beef is browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
   • Remove the beef from the pan and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a separate saucepan, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir to combine.
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
   • Once the sauce begins to bubble, slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously. This will thicken the sauce.
   • Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Return the fried beef to the pan with the sauce, stirring to coat the beef evenly with the sauce.
   • Heat the beef and sauce together for a few minutes until well combined and heated through.

5. Final Touches:

   • Transfer the beef to a serving dish. You can garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
   • Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
