  8. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch.

Notes

  • Use sirloin or ribeye for the most tender result.
  • Do not skip the marinating step, even 10 minutes makes a difference in flavor.
  • Keep the heat high when searing the beef to get a good brown crust.
  • If you skip oyster sauce, add a small splash of Worcestershire sauce for depth.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • You can add sliced bell peppers when cooking the onions for extra color and crunch.
