Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  • Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the onions, garlic, and ginger for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
  • Return the beef to the skillet, and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and onions.
  • Drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  • For a tender beef texture, slice the meat thinly against the grain.
  • Add bell peppers or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
  • You can use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt level.
