Chinese Beef and Onion Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

2. Stir-Fry:

• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add a little oil (if not using sesame oil in the marinade) and swirl to coat.
• Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the sliced onion and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
• Return the beef to the skillet and stir-fry for another minute to combine with the onions and garlic.

3. Serve:

• Serve the Chinese Beef and Onion Stir-Fry hot over rice or noodles.
