Here's another approach to Prepare Stir Fried Beef with Onion:
Ingredients:
3/4 - 1 pound beef (flank or top sirloin steak), cut julienne
Marinade:
2 tbsp light soy sauce
Black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
A few drops of sesame oil
2 tsp cornstarch
Sauce:
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp dry sherry
Other: 2 medium onions, chopped
2 green onions, sliced diagonally
2 - 3 tbsp water, to make a gravy, if desired
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 piece ginger, sliced
Oil for stir-frying
Preparation:
1. Cut beef across the grain. Add the marinade ingredients (light soy sauce, rice wine or dry sherry, sesame oil, black pepper and cornstarch) and marinate the beef for about 15 minutes.
2. While beef is marinating, prepare vegetables. Combine the sauce ingredients (dark soy sauce, sugar and dry sherry) in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Heat wok and add 2 tablespoons oil, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. When oil is ready, add ginger and garlic. Stir-fry briefly and add onions. Stir-fry until onions are tender but not overcooked. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
4. Add 2 tablespoons oil to wok. Add the beef, stir-frying until it changes color. If desired, add water at this point to make a gravy. Return the vegetables to the wok and mix well. Add the sauce. Stir in the green onion. Stir-fry briefly to blend all the flavors.
5. Serve hot with rice.
