instructions
    1

    Begin by slicing the beef against the grain into thin strips and marinate it in a mixture of 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch for 15 minutes.

    2

    While the beef marinates, wash and chop the bok choy and spinach, and mince the garlic and ginger.

    3

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until it is browned and cooked through.

    4

    Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    5

    Add the chopped bok choy and spinach to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the greens are wilted.

    6

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

    7

    Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
