Ingredients:

1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp cornstarch (for coating the beef)

2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

1 large onion, thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, minced

½ cup beef broth or water

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sugar

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked white rice (for serving)

Instructions:

Marinate the beef: In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, rice vinegar, and sugar. Set aside.

Stir-fry the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Cook the onions: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the sliced onions, garlic, and ginger for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Combine everything: Add the beef back into the skillet with the onions. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over steamed white rice.

Helpful Tips:

For extra tenderness, freeze the beef for 20 minutes before slicing it thinly.

You can add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli for a heartier dish.
