A delightful dish that brings together the rich flavors of tender beef and sweet onions, all cooked to perfection in a hot wok.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ cup beef broth or water
Chopped green onions (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and beef broth. Set aside.
Place the wok over high heat and allow it to become very hot.
Pour in the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface of the wok.
Immediately add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the marinated beef to the wok in a single layer. Let it sear for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same wok, add the sliced sweet onions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until translucent and caramelized.
Return the cooked beef to the wok, along with any accumulated juices. Pour in the stir fry sauce and toss everything together. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
