Ingredients
Scale
For the beef:
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the stir-fry:
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the beef: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, rice vinegar, and sugar; set aside.
- Stir-fry the beef: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the pan, then add the sliced onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the onion is slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine and finish: Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss everything together until the beef is cooked through and coated in sauce, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Notes
- For extra veggies, add sliced bell peppers or snap peas.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
