1 lb. lean beefsteak
1 Tbsp. light soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tsp. cornstarch
3 Tbsp. peanut oil
3 Tbsp. oyster sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped scallions, to garnish
Cut the beef into slices 2 in. long and 1/4 in. thick, cutting against the grain of the meat. Put them into a bowl. Mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine or sherry, and cornstarch. Let the meat marinate for 20 mins.
Heat a wok until it is very hot, then add the peanut oil. When it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 5 mins. or until lightly browned.
Remove the meat from the wok and drain well in a colander set over a bowl. Discard the drained oil. Wipe the wok clean and reheat it over a high heat. Add the oyster sauce and bring it to a simmer. Return the drained beef slices to the wok and toss them thoroughly with the oyster sauce. Turn the mixture on to a serving platter, garnish with the scallions, and serve immediately.
