Cooking StepsHow to cook Stir-fried Beef with Sand Chives step by step
-
Step 1 DetailWash the sand chives, drain well, and cut into large sections (about finger length). Slice or julienne the beef (slices shouldn’t be too thick). Add the seasonings — light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, rice wine, white pepper, and oil — and mix well. Marinate for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2 DetailHeat a wok over high heat with plenty of oil. Add the beef and stir-fry over medium-high heat until the surface is fully changed color, about 2 minutes. Julienne beef cooks even faster than sliced — don’t overcook. Then add the sand chives and stir-fry for 30 seconds until they begin to soften. Pour in any remaining marinade and add the bird’s eye chili. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds and it’s done.
-
Step 3 DetailThe entire stir-frying process takes only about 3–4 minutes. Since the beef is marinated, it’s well-seasoned and cooked to just the right doneness.
-
Step 4 DetailStir-fried sand chives aren’t too spicy — they’re more sweet and savory — so I added bird’s eye chili for a kick. You can also just use more sand chives; they’re delicious either way.
-
Step 5 DetailSlightly sweet and fragrant. If there’s extra sauce, mix it with rice — it’s wonderful!
