Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil
- 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 (for the sauce)
- 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional, for the sauce)
- 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
- 1 large onion, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in this marinade and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sautéing until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes until browned.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this sauce over the beef and let it simmer until thickened.
- Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring everything together to combine. Serve the dish hot over steamed rice or noodles.
