Ingredients:

- 0.5 kg beef (e.g., sirloin), sliced thinly
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon chili oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the beef strips, soy sauce, cornstarch, sherry, ginger, and chili oil. Mix until the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate.
