Description
A delightful and savory dish featuring tender beef strips with sautéed onions, seasoned with a rich marinade.
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
- 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
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade, coating them well. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, increase the heat to high and add 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned, ensuring they cook evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture over the cooked beef and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine everything. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
For added heat, consider slicing some fresh chili peppers and tossing them in during the cooking process. Marinating the beef longer enhances the flavor.
