Chinese Beef and Onion Stir Fry

Ingredients
• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch piece ginger, minced
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• Optional: sliced green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Let marinate 10–15 minutes.

2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Quickly stir-fry beef until browned but still tender, about 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same pan, add remaining oil. Sauté onions until soft and slightly caramelized, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Add garlic and ginger, stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Return beef to the pan. Add remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until glossy and heated through.

6. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
