Directions
-
Slice the sirloin tips into thin strips against the grain for maximum tenderness.
-
In a bowl, combine the beef with sherry, soy sauce, half the cornstarch, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon oil, pepper, and pressed garlic.
-
Marinate the beef mixture at room temperature for one hour to allow flavors to penetrate.
-
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking.
-
Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry quickly until medium-rare, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove the cooked beef from the wok and set aside on a plate.
-
In a small bowl, mix the remaining cornstarch with the oyster sauce to create a smooth slurry.
-
Wipe out the wok if necessary and heat the remaining oil over high heat.
-
Add broccoli florets and carrots (if available) to the hot wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
-
Pour in the beef broth, cover the wok immediately, and steam for one minute until vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Uncover and add baby corn, snow peas, chopped scallion, and the reserved beef.
-
Stir in the oyster sauce and cornstarch mixture, tossing quickly.
-
Cook for another 30 seconds until the sauce thickens and becomes clear and glossy.
-
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
