onion
0.5
garlic, minced
1 clove
peanut oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, water, and coarsely crushed black pepper until the honey is fully incorporated.

Place a wok or large heavy-based skillet over high heat. Add the peanut oil and heat until it just begins to smoke.

Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the onion becomes translucent, keeping the ingredients moving to prevent the garlic from burning.

Add the beef strips to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the beef is just browned and cooked to your liking. Immediately remove the beef and onions from the wok and set aside in a bowl.

Reduce the heat to medium-high and pour the sauce mixture into the wok. Let it simmer for about 1 minute until it thickens into a syrupy consistency with large, caramel-colored bubbles.
