Ingredients

• 300g beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
  • 300g fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1/2 cup beef broth or water (optional, for added moisture)

Directions:

1. To prepare the steak, sprinkle the sliced beef with ground black pepper and a touch of salt. While the other ingredients are being prepared, set aside.
2. Warm up the oil and add the aromatics. Heat the olive oil in a big wok or pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion for one to two minutes, or until they are aromatic and just beginning to soften.
3. Cook the meat: Fill the pan with the seasoned meat. Cook, tossing periodically, until the steak is almost done and browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add the Sauces: Stir to evenly coat the steak after adding the soy sauce and optional oyster sauce. Add the water or beef broth to the mixture if it seems too dry.
5. Add Spinach: Put the chopped spinach in the pan and cook it with the beef, turning often, until it wilts and blends with it. It should take around two to three minutes.
6. Season and Finish: Season with salt and pepper to taste and, if using, drizzle with sesame oil.
7. Serve: Spoon onto a platter and savor hot as a side dish or main entrée. This recipe goes very well with a bowl of noodles or steamed rice.
