Onion Scallion Beef
This onion scallion beef is a classic Chinese stir-fry with soft, caramelized onions and aromatic scallions in a glossy glaze. My yummy Chinese brown sauce and a simple marinade secret create tender stir-fry beef that is better than takeout in just 20 minutes.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 10 oz beef tenderloin thinly sliced
- 2½ tablespoons cooking oil
- ½ onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 3 stalks scallion cut into 2-inch (5cm) strips
Marinade:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 dashes white pepper powder

Instructions
- Marinate the beef slices with all the Marinade ingredients for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix all the Sauce ingredients and stir to combine well. Set aside.
- Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the marinated beef until it is half-cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside. Drain any excess liquid from the beef.
- Heat the remaining oil and stir-fry the garlic and onion until fragrant. Add the beef back into the wok and stir quickly before adding the sauce.
- Continue stir-frying until the beef slices are fully cooked, then add the scallions. Give it a few quick stirs, then dish out and serve hot with steamed rice.
