A vibrant dish of tender beef strips stir-fried with onions in a savory sauce, perfect for impressing guests or quick family meals.


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)
  • 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. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine and Serve: Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine everything. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. You can customize by adding vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli.
