Ingredients:

1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Marinate the Beef – In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes while prepping the other ingredients.

Cook the Onions – Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Sear the Beef – Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry the beef in batches for 2-3 minutes until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Combine and Simmer – Return the onions to the pan with the beef. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and water or broth. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
