Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 medium white onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, sesame oil, cornstarch, and baking soda (if using). Add the beef and mix well. Let the beef marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and remaining water. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add the ginger, garlic, and white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced white onion and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Return the beef to the wok. Stir the sauce to re-incorporate the cornstarch, then pour it into the wok. Toss everything together until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green parts of the green onions and toss briefly.
- Transfer the Chinese Beef and Onion Stir Fry to a serving plate and enjoy immediately with steamed rice.
