Onion Scallion Beef
Report
Onion Scallion Beef features marinated beef slices stir-fried with garlic, onion, and a savory sauce combining oyster and soy sauces. The dish finishes with fresh scallions for a sharp, aromatic contrast. The beef is tender yet seared, making it a satisfying dish to accompany steamed rice.
Description
Beef slices are marinated briefly with cornstarch, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine, which tenderizes and flavors them. The sauce composed of oyster sauce, soy sauces, sugar, white pepper, and sesame oil offers a deep umami base with a slight sweetness and spice. Cooking the beef partially before stir-frying with onions and garlic enhances flavor layering.
The final addition of scallions adds freshness and a mild sharpness that balances the richness of the beef and sauce. This dish is simple and practical, commonly served with steamed rice or noodles to absorb the flavorful sauce.
