Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tbsp (15g) grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15g) soy sauce (for marinade)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp (30g) soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) oyster sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
- 2 tbsp (30g) vegetable oil (for searing)
- 1 tbsp (15g) vegetable oil (for onions)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Cook the onions: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Sear the beef: In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch.
- Combine & serve: Pour the sauce over the beef and let simmer until it thickens. Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Slice beef thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness. Pat the beef dry before searing for a better crust. Adjust salt according to your taste.
