Ingredients
Beef and Marinade
- 1 lb beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Vegetables
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1 cup scallions, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by slicing your beef into thin strips against the grain.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
- In a large wok or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the marinated beef to the hot pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until it’s browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary, then toss in the sliced onions. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, scallions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
- Return the beef to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring the beef is heated through and the onions and scallions are tender, about 2-3 minutes more.
- Remove from heat, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To reheat, warm in a pan or microwave briefly.
