Ingredients:
1 pound (450g) beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced against the grain
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce (for deep umami flavor)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for extra richness)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for tender, juicy beef)

Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions:
Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, coat the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch.
Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize and absorb the flavors.
Sear the Beef
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a hot wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Onion & Garlic
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Toss in the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine Everything
Return the cooked beef to the pan.
Stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh green onions for extra flavor.
