Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin steak (or rib eye, flank steak or blade steak)
- 1 onion, sliced and separated segments
- 8-10 slices ginger
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, sliced
Ingredients for marinade:
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. rice wine
- 4 Tbsp. water
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp. oil
Ingredients for sauce:
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 3 Tbsp. oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. rice wine
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- Optional veggies of choice: peppers, broccoli, pea pods
- For serving steamed rice or noodles
Directions:
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain and put it in a bowl.
- To make the marinade: Add soy sauce, rice wine, water and sesame oil into the bowl with the sliced beef and marinate it for 15 minutes. Once you have finished marinating the meat, add in cornstarch and mix well. Once the cornstarch is mixed evenly with the beef, add 2 tablespoons of oil to it and mix well again and set it aside.
- to make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Add in sugar, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice wine and soy sauce and mix everything well. Mix in 1 cup water and set it aside for later.
- To make the stir fry:Add a bit more oil into the pan and the ginger slices. Toast the ginger for 1 minute until it is slightly brown. Add in the onion slices and stir fry it until it is soft and slightly brown, about 2 minutes. Push the onions, ginger and garlic to the side of the pan. Mix the stir-fry sauce again and pour the sauce into the hot pan. Keep stirring the sauce in the pan until it has turned thick and from a milky color to a brown color. Once the sauce is thick, mix the onions into the sauce and add the beef back. Add green onions and optional vegetables and stir fry everything for about 1 minute.
