Description

A quick and flavorful dish that combines tender beef strips with crisp onions, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 5 tbsp (75g) vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp (45g) soy sauce, divided
  • 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 large onion, sliced


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the beef and let it simmer until it thickens.
  5. Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Use a high-quality cut of beef for the best flavor. Customize the dish by adding vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
