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
- 2 tbsp (30g) soy sauce (plus 1 tbsp for marinating)
- 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
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Sear the Beef: In the same skillet, heat an additional 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until browned.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the cooked beef and simmer until thickened.
- Combine & Serve: Return the sautéed onions to the pan, stirring to combine everything. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
