Sisters, this dish is super easy! Super unbeatable! Super cute! Super presentable! I recently went on a business trip to Guangdong and found that I seem to have fallen in love with Cantonese cuisine, especially when you can enjoy your food with a pot of tea – absolutely amazing! I chatted with a friend who works in the food service industry and then modified the flavor to suit my own taste. Feel free to use it as a reference!

Steamed Beef Recipe Steps
Wash the beef and slice it!
Add minced garlic, minced ginger (the chef said to replace the minced ginger with shredded ginger and chopped green onions at the end, but I added it with the minced garlic; if any experts think it's lacking, please feel free to point it out!), and pepper. I also added a tiny bit of white wine (you can ignore the white wine; I didn't list it in the ingredients!).
Add cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cooking oil (you can substitute sesame oil; I also added a little Sichuan peppercorn oil—when cooking, you should always make it taste like what you like! 😁). Then mix well by hand. Let it sit for 5-15 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can let it sit for a shorter time. If you're not in a rush, you can even refrigerate it for two hours beforehand.
Add a bowl of cold water to the pot, place a steaming rack and a plate on top, turn on the heat, cover the pot, and let the pot heat up and steam rise.
Then pour in the beef and spread it evenly. Make sure it's spread evenly! If you like it tender, steam for 5-6 minutes; if you like it chewier, steam for 7-8 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and shredded ginger after cooking (if you added ginger earlier, don't add it when serving, ladies)! Serve, 👌 Yay!
Tips for steaming beef
Some of you might be worried about the salt content, but don't worry! Soy sauce and oyster sauce already contain salt. If you prefer a stronger flavor, feel free to add more salt. It's incredibly simple and easy to make, and it's healthy too! Win their heart through their stomach first, then their stomach. Get them! 🤫
