Ingredients preparation

• 200g beef fillet/sirloin/shoulder slices

• 1 onion (cut into strips/thick strips)

• 2 cloves of garlic (sliced)

• 1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce

• 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• A small amount of sesame oil and pepper

• 2-3 tablespoons oil

• 2 tablespoons of water

• Shredded carrots, green pepper slices (add as desired)

Detailed steps

🥩 1. Marinated beef is extremely smooth

• Slice the beef thinly against the grain, add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, sugar, pepper, cornstarch, a little sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, rub by hand and marinate for 5-10 minutes.

• Add 1-2 spoons of water and beat until the meat floss becomes sticky.

• Editor's note: Add oil last when marinating meat to lock in moisture.

🧅 2. Secret to making onions super sweet

• Cut the onion into thick strips, rinse with salt water and drain well so that it will be fried faster and sweeter.

• Prepare garlic slices and other ingredients.

🍳 3. Stir-fried beef

• Heat oil in a wok and stir-fry the beef in batches until just starting to change colour and 70% cooked. Remove from heat immediately (be careful not to overcook the beef).

• Add oil to the original pan, stir-fry onion and garlic slices over medium-high heat until they begin to become transparent, then add the beef back into the pan.

• Add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and sugar at the same time, mix well quickly, and add 2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth to increase the moisture.

• If you want it to be juicier, you can make a paste (corn starch and water) and thicken it lightly.

🥢 4. Serve with fragrance

• Stir-fry beef with onions until cooked through and sauce thickens, then turn off heat.

• Finally, add some sesame oil and sprinkle some chopped green onions.

Editor's Tips

• The beef should be cut very thinly and against the grain for the smoothest texture!

• First, stir-fry the beef and remove from the wok, then add onions to prevent the meat from becoming tough.

• Onions will be more fragrant if they are slightly burnt, but if they are fried too long, they will become soggy and lose their crispness and sweetness.

• If the dish is juicy, you can add some starch to make it great with rice.

• The most tender beef is eaten immediately after turning off the heat, while the beef will become tender if kept hot for stir-frying.
