Flavorful Chinese Beef and Onion Stir Fry

Ingredients:

1 lb beef (flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup beef broth

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions:

Prepare the Beef:

Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Add the beef to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Beef:

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Combine the Beef & Sauce:

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the beef broth. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry, then stir it into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens.

Finish & Serve:

Once the sauce is thickened and everything is well combined, garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the stir-fry over hot cooked white rice and enjoy!
