Instructions
- Cut the beef into 1 inch cubes and add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, minced garlic, salt, pepper and msg. Mix well and set aside.
- Let the beef marinate for a few minutes while you chop your onions. You can also chop up some cucumbers and tomatoes at this time to serve with the beef.
- Preheat your pan on high heat. Add the oil and sear your beef. Be careful not to overcrowd your pan. Cook the beef in batches if you need to.
- Let the beef cubes sit for about 20-30 seconds before shaking the pan to flip the cubes, or using a spatula or tongs to move the make sure the beef is seared on all sides, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the onions to the beef and continue shaking and stirring until the onions are just tender, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve as is, or over a bed of arugula or watercress, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers
Notes
- Tips:
- The amount of oil you use will depend on the cut of steak you choose. Well marbled steaks might need a bit less oil. A lean steak will need a little more. This is a situation where you'll want to measure with your heart.
- Be careful not to overcrowd your pan. If your pan is too small or you're doubling the recipe, cook in batches. When I'm cooking for my family I will do single batches of beef and onions and serve the dish to order.
