Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the beef slices with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic and sliced chili (if using) to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.
  6. Return the beef to the wok. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir to coat.
  7. Add the Thai basil leaves and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add more chili or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute other leafy greens like spinach or bok choy if Thai basil is unavailable.
  • Serve with steamed rice for a complete meal.
