Ingredients
- 0.5 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions (scallions)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the beef is marinating, peel and thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and grate the ginger.
Step 4
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 5
Add the marinated beef to the hot wok in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Step 6
In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Step 7
Return the beef to the wok with the onions. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauces are well combined and everything is heated through.
Step 8
Slice the green onions and add them to the wok. Sprinkle the ground black pepper over the stir-fry. Stir everything together for the final minute of cooking.
Step 9
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles as desired.
