Instructions

• Start by slicing your beef thinly against the grain. This helps break down tough fibers and makes each bite silky.
• In a bowl, mix the beef with baking soda, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon neutral oil, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon water. Let it marinate for 20 minutes while you prep other stuff.
• Heat a wok or skillet on high with a little oil till it’s smoking hot but not burning.
• Add the marinated beef, stir-frying it quick till it’s almost cooked but still tender. Remove it from the wok and set aside.
• Add a bit more oil if you need, then toss in the chopped onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes till they soften but still crunch a bit.
• Put the beef back in the wok, then pour 1 tablespoon light soy sauce and 1 teaspoon salted soy sauce over it. Stir well to coat everything nicely.
• Sauté the beef and onions together for 1-2 minutes more till beef’s fully cooked and onions just tender enough.
• Serve right away hot with some plain white rice. Watch that valve hiss while you wait, slow release or quick release works but natural release is best for deeper flavor.
