Wagyu Stir-Fry

Ingredients

1 pound Japanese Wagyu beef, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Steamed rice, for serving

Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced Japanese Wagyu beef to the hot pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
3. In the same pan, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
4. Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using).
6. Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through. The sauce will thicken slightly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning or add more soy sauce if desired.
8. Remove from heat and serve the Japanese Wagyu stir-fry over steamed rice.
9. Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor.
