Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 green onion, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toss beef slices with cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, searing for 2-3 minutes until browned. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté onions and garlic until onions are soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return beef to the pan. Add oyster sauce and Shaoxing wine, stirring to coat the beef and onions evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with green onion if desired, and serve hot with rice.
Notes
- Substitute Shaoxing wine with a splash of rice vinegar for a non-alcoholic option.
- For added spice, toss in sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili oil.
