Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15g) grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp (15g) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15g) oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp (30g) soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
- 1 large onion, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss in the beef strips and let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb those flavors.
- Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the sliced onions and sauté until they soften and caramelize slightly. Season with salt and pepper before removing them from the pan.
- Sear the Beef: In the same skillet, increase the heat to high and add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef strips, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the beef and let it simmer until it thickens.
- Combine and Serve: Add the sautéed onions back to the pan, mixing everything thoroughly. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Beef selection is important for tenderness; sirloin or ribeye is recommended. For a spicy kick, add sliced red chili or Sriracha in the marinade.
