Ingredients:
500g beef (tenderloin or sirloin), thinly sliced
3 large onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
1 tsp brown sugar or honey
2 tbsp oil (sunflower or sesame)
1 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh spring onions or coriander to garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the beef:
In a bowl, toss the beef strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, the cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of water. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Sauté the onions:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sear the beef:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and increase the heat. Add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook quickly for 2-3 minutes, turning so they are browned but still tender.
Make the sauce:
Return the onions to the pan with the beef. Add the minced garlic, remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar or honey, and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well to coat the beef and onions. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot:
Arrange the stir-fried beef with onions on a platter or plates. Garnish with fresh spring onions or coriander if desired. Serve with white rice for a complete and tasty meal.
