Lunch: Beef Stir-Fry with Fresh and Pickled Ginger

Fresh and pickled ginger make this beef stir-fry come to life.

Ingredients

3 tbsp. dry sherry
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 1/4 lb. sirloin steak

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk the sherry with the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the steak and turn to coat with the marinade. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce and Stir-Fry: In a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth with the sherry, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chile-garlic sauce, and cornstarch.
Lift the beef from the marinade; discard the marinade. Heat a wok or large skillet until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak and stir-fry over high heat until browned and cooked to medium, about 1 minute. Transfer the steak to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the fresh ginger and scallions and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the steak to the wok and add the pickled ginger and the sauce. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens, about 10 seconds. Transfer the steak to bowls and serve.
