Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add garlic and ginger, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until it starts to soften but still has a bit of crunch.
Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together until the beef and cabbage are well coated and the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
You can swap green cabbage for Napa or savoy cabbage.

Great served over rice or noodles!
