Main Ingredients- 300g Beef Brisket (frozen)
- 100g Bean Sprouts (1 bag)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the fresh bean sprouts under running water. This removes any dirt or debris. Afterward, place them in a colander to drain completely. Properly draining the sprouts will prevent excess water from making the stir-fry soggy.
Step 2
Preheat your pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the frozen beef brisket, spreading it out evenly. Cook the brisket, allowing its savory aroma to develop.
Step 3
Be careful not to overcook the beef brisket until it’s too crispy. Cook just until the meat is thoroughly done. Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Step 4
You’ll notice a good amount of rendered fat left in the pan from cooking the beef. This fat is key to the flavor of the bean sprouts! Pour out about half of the excess oil, but leave the flavorful beef drippings in the pan. This will infuse the bean sprouts with deliciousness as they cook.
Step 5
Add the drained bean sprouts to the pan. Stir-fry them just until they start to wilt slightly. Avoid overcooking, as you want to maintain their crisp texture. At this stage, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
Step 6
Gently mix the bean sprouts with the oyster sauce using a spatula. Stir-fry, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the sprouts. The goal is to let the sprouts absorb the seasoning while keeping their satisfying crunch.
Step 7
Now, add the cooked beef brisket back into the pan. Give everything a quick toss to combine the beef and bean sprouts well. Stir-fry briefly to meld the flavors.
Step 8
Finally, pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce (or Jin-ganjang). This will add a savory depth and balance the overall seasoning of the dish.
Step 9
After mixing all the ingredients thoroughly, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top for added nutty flavor. Give it one final, quick stir-fry, and your delicious beef brisket and bean sprout stir-fry is ready!
Step 10
Serve your finished stir-fry onto a beautiful plate. It looks as good as it tastes and makes for a wonderful meal! This dish is seasoned mildly, making it enjoyable for everyone. Enjoy your delicious creation!
