Equipment

1 Wok

Ingredients

1 Lb Top Sirloin Steak Thinly Sliced
¼ Cup Corn Starch
¼ Cup Cup Vegetable Oil
3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Shaoxing Wine
½ Tbsp. Black Pepper
½ Cup Roasted Hatch Green Chile Diced
1 Tbsp. Minced Ginger
1 Tbsp. Fresh Minced Garlic
4 Green Onions See Notes
¼ tsp. Accent Optional
Cooked Rice For Serving
Roasted Sesame Oil For Serving
Sesame Seeds For Garnish

Instructions

Slice the top sirloin into very thin strips and place them in a plastic ziplock bag.
Add the cornstarch to the bag of steak strips and shake the bag, ensuring that each strip is equally coated in cornstarch.
Pour the soy sauce and Shaoxing wine into the bag, moving the steak strips all around to ensure even coverage.
Heat vegetable oil in a wok, and once it starts to shimmer, add strips of top sirloin. Be sure to do this in batches and fry them until the edges darken and crisp.
Remove the Steak Strips and set aside.
While the Steak strips are frying, slice the whites of the green onions into small pieces and the green portions into large pieces about 1.5 - 2 inches.
Add the garlic and ginger to the hot oil in the skillet, frying until aromatic, about 2 minutes. (Be careful it will pop)
Add the white parts of the green onions, stir fry for about 2 minutes, and then add the Diced Hatch Green Chiles.
Salt and pepper the mixture and stir fry for about 5 minutes until thoroughly heated and aromatic.
Add the steak to the green chile mixture in the wok, stir to combine, and then toss in the green portions of the green onions.
Give one good last stir.
Serve over freshly steamed white rice with a drizzle of roasted sesame seed oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

Slice the Beef Thinly: For the most tender stir fry, slice your top sirloin as thinly as possible. This helps the beef cook quickly and evenly. Pro tip: Pop the beef in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut thin strips.
Use Fresh Hatch Green Chiles: Roasted Hatch green chiles add a smoky, slightly spicy flavor to this dish. If you can't find fresh chiles, canned Hatch chiles are a great alternative—but fresh is always best for that authentic kick.
Stir-Fry on High Heat: When stir-frying, high heat is key! It helps sear the beef quickly, locking in flavor and giving it that perfect texture without overcooking. Make sure your pan is nice and hot before adding the beef.
Don’t Skip the Ginger and Garlic: These two ingredients add incredible depth to the dish. Fresh minced ginger and garlic bring out the bold flavors of the chiles and beef, creating a more vibrant stir fry.
Serve Over Rice: Green Chile Beef is best served over freshly cooked rice to soak up all those amazing juices.
