  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Marinade

  • 1 pound flank steak or your favorite cut of beef, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 4 green onions, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 4 cups bok choy, whites and greens separated

Sauce

  • ½ cup reduced sodium beef broth or water
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: Combine the thinly sliced beef, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of less sodium soy sauce in a bowl and toss thoroughly to coat the beef evenly. Set aside and let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cornstarch to tenderize the meat.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the reduced sodium beef broth (or water), hoisin sauce, additional 2 tablespoons of less sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, Sriracha, and toasted sesame oil until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add half of the marinated beef to the skillet, cooking just until it is browned but not overcooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process with the remaining beef, adding extra oil if necessary.
  4. Sauté Aromatics and Bok Choy Whites: Reduce the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Cook these aromatics for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the white parts of the bok choy and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Combine and Finish Cooking: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Add the green parts of the bok choy and the cooked beef back into the pan. Stir everything together and continue cooking over medium heat until the sauce is hot, bubbly, and thickened, coating the beef and vegetables evenly.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with the green onion tops, and serve hot over cooked rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Marinating the beef with cornstarch and soy sauce tenderizes the meat and creates a smooth, velvety texture when cooked.
  • Be careful not to overcook the beef during the initial searing to keep it tender.
  • Adjust Sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve immediately after cooking for best texture and flavor.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine or brown rice.
