Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef, thinly sliced
Aromatics and Vegetables:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Infuse the beef with a medley of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, allowing the flavors to meld for half an hour.
- Ignite a pan or wok to high heat, drizzling in vegetable oil to create a sizzling surface.
- Tumble minced garlic into the scorching pan, aromatic and pungent, stirring vigorously for 1-2 minutes until fragrance intensifies.
- Cascade the marinated beef into the pan, searing and tossing until each morsel transforms into a golden-brown delicacy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Introduce sliced onions to the culinary dance, swirling and twirling until they soften and become translucent, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Plate the vibrant stir-fry immediately, accompanying it with a mound of steaming white rice to create a harmonious meal.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak for the most succulent beef texture.
- Slice beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Marinate beef for at least 30 minutes, but not longer than 2 hours to prevent meat from becoming mushy.
- Pat beef dry before cooking to help achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
