Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g sirloin steak (or rib eye, flank steak, or blade steak)
  • ½ white onion (or yellow onion)
  • 4–5 slices ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced or thinly sliced)
  • 1 stalk green onion (cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (added after marinating)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (added after marinating)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine (or dry sherry/rice wine)
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Slice the onion and separate the segments. Slice the ginger and mince the garlic. Cut the green onion into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Optionally, freeze for 15 minutes for easier slicing. Marinate the beef in soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, and sesame oil for 15 minutes. Mix in cornstarch and oil afterward. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Add sugar, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and water. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add oil and stir-fry the marinated beef until about 90% cooked (2-4 minutes). Remove and set aside. Add more oil to the pan and toast ginger slices for 1 minute until slightly brown. Stir-fry onion slices and garlic until soft and slightly brown (about 2 minutes). Push aside. Pour in the stir fry sauce, stir until thickened and dark brown. Mix onions into the sauce, add beef and green onions. Stir fry for 1 minute.
  5. Plate the stir fry and enjoy immediately with steamed rice!
