Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) Beef Strips (sirloin or ribeye)
- 4 tbsp (60g) Vegetable Oil (divided)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15g) Grated Fresh Ginger
- 3 tbsp (45g) Soy Sauce (divided)
- 1 tbsp (15g) Oyster Sauce (optional)

- 2 tbsp (30g) Hoisin Sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) Cornstarch

Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and slightly caramelized, then season with salt and pepper. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Sear the Beef: In the same pan, increase the heat to high and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the marinated beef strips for 2-3 minutes until they are browned.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this sauce over the cooked beef and let it simmer until it thickens.
- Combine and Serve: Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine everything. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
