Sizzling Chinese Beef with Onions
Ingredients
- Marinade
- 450 g flank steak
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- Cooking
- 1 large onion (or 250 g small onions)
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 2 tsp oyster sauce
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
Marinade
Cut the steak into thin slices.
In a medium bowl, add the flank steak, baking soda, cornstarch, oil, oyster sauce, and water.
Mix until the liquid has been absorbed, and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
Cooking
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tbsp of oil and the chopped onions. Stir-fry until the onions are seared and slightly blistered, 60-90 seconds. Remove from the wok.
Add 1 tbsp of oil and spread the beef in the wok in a single layer. Sear the meat, undisturbed, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned. Stir-fry for an additional 15-30 seconds, until about 75% cooked.
Add the onions, cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the prepared sauce to the wok, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 seconds, and then stir in the beef and onions for another 30 seconds.
Serve over rice.
