- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil (plus extra for finishing)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
