1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or Shaoxing wine


2 tablespoons oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Marinate the beef slices with the Marinade for 30 minutes.

Heat up a wok with oil and stir-fry the marinated beef until it’s half-done. Dish out and set aside.
