Ingredients:

• 200 g beef, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced into wedges
• 3 green onions, cut into short pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1\. Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef thinly against the grain. In a bowl, combine the beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.

2\. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, water, and sugar until well combined.

3\. Sauté the Garlic: Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

4\. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef and stir-fry over high heat until browned and nearly cooked through.

5\. Add the Onions: Toss in the onion wedges and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still juicy.

6\. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Stir well so every piece of beef is coated in the rich, savory sauce.

7\. Add the Green Onions: Add the green onion pieces and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until bright green and fragrant.

8\. Adjust the Seasoning: Taste and add a little salt if necessary. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, clinging beautifully to the beef and onions.

9\. Serve: Transfer the beef stir-fry to a small, attractive serving plate. Serve immediately while hot, with steamed rice if desired.

Cooking Tips:

* Slice the beef thinly against the grain to keep it tender.

* Use high heat to achieve beautifully browned beef without overcooking it.

* For an extra glossy finish, let the sauce reduce slightly before turning off the heat.

* Keep the onions slightly crisp for a delicious contrast to the tender beef.
