Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, cracked
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Trim the beef steak of any excess fat and slice into thin, bite-sized strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, oyster sauce, granulated sugar, black pepper, sesame oil, and half the minced garlic. Mix well.

Step 3

3. Add the sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 4

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 5

5. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize. Remove the onions and set aside.

Step 6

6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Increase the heat to high and once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer.

Step 7

7. Sear the beef for 1-2 minutes on one side without stirring, until browned. Flip the beef strips and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are nicely browned but not overcooked.

Step 8

8. Lower the heat slightly and return the caramelized onions to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to combine and heat through.

Step 9

9. Just before serving, drizzle the lime juice over the sizzling beef and onions for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

10. Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately, either as-is or over a bed of jasmine rice.
