Beef and Onion Stir Fry Ingredients :
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Prepare the Ingredients:
Slice the beef and onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Cook Beef:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Onions:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onions until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Add Flavor:
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Combine and Sauce:
Return the beef to the pan. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sugar. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Season and Serve:
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice or noodles.
Recipe Notes :
Beef Cut: Use tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak for the best texture. Thinly slice against the grain for optimal tenderness.
Sauce Variations: Adjust the amount of soy sauce and optional sauces based on your taste preferences and desired flavor profile.
Vegetable Add-ins: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition and flavor.
Stir-Frying Tip: Keep the heat high and cook quickly to ensure the beef remains tender and the vegetables stay crisp.
