Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, cracked
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Trim the beef steak of any excess fat and slice into thin, bite-sized strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
2. In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, oyster sauce, granulated sugar, black pepper, sesame oil, and half the minced garlic. Mix well.
3. Add the sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize. Remove the onions and set aside.
6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Increase the heat to high and once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer.
7. Sear the beef for 1-2 minutes on one side without stirring, until browned. Flip the beef strips and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are nicely browned but not overcooked.
8. Lower the heat slightly and return the caramelized onions to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to combine and heat through.
9. Just before serving, drizzle the lime juice over the sizzling beef and onions for a burst of freshness.
10. Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately, either as-is or over a bed of jasmine rice.
