Description

A delightful dish of tender beef strips combined with sweet onions and a savory sauce, perfect for quick dinners or special occasions.


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
  • 2 tbsp (30g) 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. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the beef and let it simmer until it thickens.
  5. Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add sliced bell peppers or chili flakes. Chicken or tofu can be used as a substitute for beef.
