Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for lower sodium)
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for keto-friendly thickening)
- 1 teaspoon dry sherry

- 1 lb. baby bok choy, sliced

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, and dry sherry. Add the sliced beef and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
- Add the oyster sauce, sliced bok choy, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, until bok choy is just wilted and beef is fully cooked.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or green onions.
