Instructions
- Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine steak, cornstarch, baking soda, wine, and soy sauce. Stir well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
- Sauce: Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, chicken bouillon, sesame oil, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cooking the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak in an even layer, working in batches if needed, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer beef to a plate and keep warm.
- Aromatics: In the same skillet, using 2-3 tablespoons of reserved oil, cook onions until slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.
- Combine: Add the beef back into the skillet along with the sauce. Stir well to coat and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is hot and the beef is thoroughly heated. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, slice the beef thinly and marinate longer.
- Serve over steamed white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
