For the Beef:

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For Stir-Fry:

  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and black pepper. Marinate for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, sear the beef for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  • Use reduced-sodium soy sauce and broth for a lower-sodium option.
