Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix until the beef is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Place a wok over high heat and let it preheat until it’s smoking, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the wok, swirling to coat the surface.
  3. Carefully add the marinated beef into the hot wok, spreading it out evenly. Sear for about 2-3 minutes until opaque, then remove and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add an additional splash of oil. Quickly toss in the minced ginger and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the thinly sliced garlic to the wok and cook for 30 seconds, then pour in the Sha Cha sauce and sugar, stirring and frying for about 2 minutes.
  6. Return the seared beef to the wok along with the scallions and pour in the remaining soy sauce. Increase heat and toss everything together for about 1 minute.
  7. Immediately remove the wok from the heat and serve your Sha Cha Beef Stir-fry hot over fluffy steamed rice.
