Equipment
  • 1 Nonstick skillet
Ingredients
  
  • 1   pound Beef strips preferably flank or sirloin
  • Salt & pepper for seasoning
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
  • 3   cups Chinese cabbage or Napa cabbage chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
  • 2/3   cup Chopped scallions
  • 1/2   ounce Bamboo shoots, mushrooms, or other desired vegetables Optional
Instructions
 
  • Start by thinly slicing the beef strips across the grain.
    This helps make the surface of the beef more tender.
    Next, season the beef with salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Set a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    Add about 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat until it's shimmering.
  • Carefully add the seasoned beef strips to the hot oil in the skillet.
    Stir fry the meat, constantly moving it around to ensure even cooking.
    Cook the beef until it's no longer pink and is slightly browned (around 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the chopped cabbage, minced garlic, and scallions to the skillet.
    If you want, include optional ingredients like bamboo shoots or mushrooms.
    Stir fry the mixture for another 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Drizzle the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce.
    Stir quickly to coat everything with the sauce evenly.
    Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes so that the flavors meld together.
  • Your homemade Moo Shu Beef is now ready to enjoy!
    Serve it over a bed of rice or with Chinese pancakes.
