Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients for a delicious Beef Brisket and Bean Sprout Stir-fry. Fresh ingredients are key to a great-tasting dish.
Step 2
Rinse the bean sprouts under running water and trim off any dirty root ends. Drain them thoroughly in a colander; excess water can make the stir-fry soggy.
Step 3
Coarsely chop the cabbage. Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the Korean green chilies for a touch of heat, and thinly slice the garlic to release its aroma.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a cold pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Then, increase the heat to high and add the beef brisket. Stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute until it just starts to change color. Separate the brisket slices as you cook to prevent clumping.
Step 5
Once the beef brisket is partially cooked, add the chopped cabbage, red bell pepper, and green chilies to the pan. Stir-frying over high heat ensures the vegetables retain their crispness.
Step 6
Continue to stir-fry over high heat for another 30 seconds, just until the vegetables begin to soften slightly. The goal is to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 7
Now it’s time to season the dish. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar to the pan. The brown sugar not only adds sweetness but also enhances the savory flavor of the beef.
Step 8
Toss everything together quickly with a spatula to coat the beef and vegetables evenly with the sauce. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the sauce.
Step 9
Finally, add the prepared bean sprouts to the pan. Be mindful not to overcook them, as they can release a lot of water if cooked for too long.
Step 10
Stir-fry the bean sprouts over high heat for just about 30 seconds, until they are slightly wilted but still crisp. Taste and adjust with a tiny pinch of salt if needed. The key is to keep the bean sprouts crunchy.
Step 11
Turn off the heat. Stir in the finishing touches: a pinch of black pepper, toasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil. This adds a final layer of aroma and flavor.
Step 12
Give it one final gentle toss to combine everything. Your delicious Beef Brisket and Bean Sprout Stir-fry is ready! It’s wonderful served over a warm bowl of rice.
