I’m very happy to share with you one of my favorite recipes: Beef and Kale Stir-Fry. Originating from the depths of traditional Chinese cuisine, stir-fry dishes have always been loved for their simplicity, speed, and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch fresh kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Substitute chicken or tofu for beef for a different protein.
  • Use spinach or bok choy if you can’t find kale.
  • Add a touch of chili paste for a spicy kick.

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the sliced beef to the hot wok. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the sliced onions and bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Step 4: Add the chopped kale to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the kale is wilted.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the wok. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Toss everything together until well coated.
  6. Step 6: If you prefer a thicker sauce, pour in the cornstarch mixture. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Step 7: Add the chopped green onions and give it a final stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the vegetables to maintain their nutrient content and crisp texture.
