Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil (divided)
  • 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 (for the sauce)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional, for the sauce)
  • 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 the soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Coat the beef strips in this marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, 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, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the beef and let simmer until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir the sautéed onions back into the pan, mixing everything well. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
