Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Coating

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce (natural)

  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup brownsugar (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

To Finish

  • 3 green onions, sliced, divided

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by thinly slicing the beef sirloin against the grain to ensure tenderness after cooking. Mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onions, and measure out your sauce ingredients to have everything ready to go.
  2. Mix the Sauce (natural): Whisk together the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), brownsugar (natural), minced garlic, minced ginger, water, and natural gelling agent in a bowl until smooth and set aside. This sauce (natural) will coat every bite with vibrant flavor.
  3. Coat Beef and Stir-Fry: Lightly dust the sliced beef with cornstarch for a velvety coating. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, then stir-fry the beef in batches until browned but still tender. Remove the beef and set aside to prevent overcrowding.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Drain any excess oil from the pan, add the prepared sauce (natural), and let it simmer briefly until it begins to thicken. Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat evenly, ensuring each strip is covered with the glossy sauce (natural).
  5. Finish with Green Onions: Stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish. Give the beef one last toss, then transfer to your serving dish for presentation.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for tender, quick-cooking meat.
  • Cook beef in batches to avoid steaming and maintain a perfect sear.
  • Fresh ginger and garlic are key to achieving authentic, vibrant flavors.
  • Adjust the amount of brownsugar (natural) to control sweetness according to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce (natural) until it thickens enough to coat the beef well for ideal texture.
  • The sauce (natural) can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; whisk before use to redistribute the natural gelling agent.
  • Serve garnished with fresh green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds for added flavor.
  • For gluten-free, ensure vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and other ingredients are gluten-free.
  • Use chicken or tofu as protein alternatives; add vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for variety.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
