Savory Chinese-Style Stir-Fried Beef with Sweet Onions

In a bowl, combine the beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 15–20 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.

2. Prepare the Onions and Aromatics

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion wedges and stir-fry until slightly softened and beginning to caramelize, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Beef

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 3–5 minutes.

4. Combine and Finish

Return the onions to the pan. Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle with sugar. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is coated evenly.

5. Serve

Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately over steamed rice, fried rice, or noodles.
