Ingredients
- 8.5-10 oz beef thinly sliced against the grain
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (and more for cooking the pasta)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, divided
- 4-5 garlic cloves, minced, divided
- olive oil
- 5 oz pasta I use fusilli, short type
- 1 onion small, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot or half a large carrot, around 2.5 oz, small, julienned
- red bell pepper half, julienned
- 3.5 oz baby bok choy or other greens like yu choy sum, spinach, cut into sections
For the Stir-fry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup (see Notes for substitute)
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss thinly-sliced beef with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon oil. Set aside for about 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
- Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl to make the stir-fry sauce. Taste and adjust the level of sweetness to your liking
- Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions, but undercook by 1 minute. Rinse under cold water, drain and toss with some olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add half of the remaining minced garlic, stir and cook for a few seconds until fragrant. Then add sliced onions, stir briefly and then add julienned carrots and bell pepper. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add baby bok choy. Continue to stir and cook for another minute until all veggies are crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
- To the same pan, add a bit more oil. Sauté the remaining minced garlic for a few seconds until fragrant. Add beef to the pan in a thin layer (increase the heat to medium-high if needed), sear, stir and cook until beef is 70-80% cooked. Add pasta and half of the stir-fry sauce. Toss and cook for a few seconds to coat beef and pasta with sauce.
- Add the vegetables to the pan and give everything a quick toss. Then add the remaining sauce and continue to stir-fry quickly until everything is cooked through. Transfer to serving plates and serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe can serve 3 people as a light meal or if the meal also has additional side dishes.
- If you want to cook this stir-fried beef pasta for a lot of people, I think you may need to work in batches. Crowding the pan with too much food may affect the results.
- While you cook, pay attention to the heat because if the pan is not hot enough, the ingredients may be steamed instead of stir-fried.
- In case you don't like using ketchup, you can mix 1 teaspoon of tomato paste with some water and sugar to your desired sweetness.
