Sha Cha Beef Stir-fry
Description
This Sha Cha Beef Stir-fry recipe uses thin slices of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin, marinated briefly with soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil to enhance texture and flavor. The beef is quickly seared until just opaque, keeping it tender and slightly pink inside.
The sauce, made from ginger, garlic, Sha Cha sauce, and sugar, is cooked briefly to develop its blend of spicy, savory, and sweet notes. Scallions are added for freshness and crunch, while an additional soy sauce finish balances the flavors. The final stir-fry delivers a harmonious mix of juicy beef and flavorful aromatics with a satisfying texture.
This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles, providing a hearty and flavorful main course suitable for a home-cooked Asian-inspired meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef (450g, thinly sliced against the grain; can use flank steak or sirloin)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (plus 1 tablespoon)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- vegetable oil
- 1-2 tablespoons ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Sha Cha sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 5 scallions (cut on an angle into 2-inch lengths)
Instructions
- To the beef, add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Mix well. Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and sear the beef until it just turns opaque (it can still be slightly pink). Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add another couple tablespoons of oil to the wok. Add the ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic, sacha sauce, and sugar, and fry this mixture for 2 minutes.
- Add the scallions and beef back to the wok, along with the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce. Increase the heat to high, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the scallions are wilted.
