Instructions
Preparation
Peel and slice ½ white onion (or yellow onion), and separate the segments. Set it aside for later.
Peel and thinly slice 3 cloves garlic. Alternatively, you can also mince it as well.
Slice 4-5 slices of ginger and set them aside for later.
Cut off the root part of 1 stalk green onion and discard it. Then cut the green onion into 2-inch pieces. For the chunky white part, slice it in half lengthwise. Set this aside for later.
Marinate Beef
Thinly slice the beef against the grain and put it in a bowl.
(Optional) To make it easier to slice, you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm it up slightly.
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ½ tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil into the bowl with the sliced beef and marinate it for 15 minutes.
Do not add the cornstarch and oil yet.
