Instructions

Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth and set aside. -
Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside. -
Sauté Aromatics:
Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. -
Add the Bok Choy:
Add bok choy and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves begin to wilt and the stems stay crisp. -
Add Sauce and Beef:
Return the cooked beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the meat and bok choy evenly. -
Serve:
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
