Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Marinate the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
  • Add marinated beef and cook until just browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, mixing well to coat the beef and onions evenly.
  • Season with pepper, adjust salt to taste, and garnish with green onions if desired.
  • Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinate beef with a bit of baking soda.
  • Adjust sauce levels to taste for more or less saltiness.
  • Use flank steak or sirloin for best results; freeze meat briefly to aid thin slicing.
