Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl. Add the cooking wine, cornstarch, and 1 tbsp of the oil, then mix until the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and aromatics.

Trim the celery and slice it thinly on the diagonal so it cooks quickly but stays crisp. Chop the scallions, mince the ginger, and mince the garlic before you start cooking.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, just until browned but not fully overcooked. Transfer the beef to a plate.
