Description

A delightful dish bursting with flavor, combining tender beef strips, vibrant vegetables, and a mouthwatering sauce for an authentic Chinese experience.


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

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to prepare the marinade.
  2. Toss the beef strips into the marinade and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  4. In the same pan, increase the heat to high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the beef and let it simmer until it thickens.
  6. Stir the sautéed onions back into the pan, ensuring everything is well mixed. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For gluten-free options, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce. You can also substitute beef with chicken or tofu.
