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
- 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
- 1 large onion, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add the beef strips to this mixture and toss until fully coated. Let the beef marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté them until they become soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Beef: Increase the heat to high and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the beef and stir well to combine. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Combine: Add the cooked onions back into the skillet with the beef and stir together. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
