~ingredients

  • 1 lb steak tip
  • 1 white onion
  • 3 green onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • salt 
  • black pepper
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 birds eye chilies
  • sauce: 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, 1 tsp white pepper, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil

~instructions:

  1. Slice the steak into 1 inch strips. 
  2. Marinate the steak with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cornstarch.  Set aside. 
  3. Chop the green bell pepper into 1 inch chunks. 
  4. Quarter a white onion, and chop into 1 inch chunks.
  5. Chop the green onion into 1.5-2 inch pieces. Separate the whites and greens. 
  6. Chop the garlic, and slice the bird’s eye chilies (discard the seeds depending on your spice tolerance).
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the above listed sauce ingredients and set aside. 
  8. When ready to cook, heat up a wok on high heat with neutral cooking oil. 
  9. Once the wok starts to smoke, add the steak in an even layer, avoid overcrowding (I usually cook in 2 batches).
  10. Sear the steak on one side for a minute, before flipping. 
  11. Sear the other side for another minute, before stir-frying for another minute. Remove from the wok, and set aside. 
  12. Add a little bit more oil to the wok, over medium-high heat. 
  13. Add in the white onion, and the whites of the green onion. 
  14. Stir fry the onions for 2-3 minutes. Add more oil if needed. 
  15. Salt and pepper the onions and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
  16. Add in the bell peppers, followed by a splash of shaoxing wine. 
  17. Continue stir-frying until the onions start to turn translucent and soft.
  18. Clear a space in the middle of the wok, and drizzle a tiny bit of oil. 
  19. Add the garlic and birds eye chilies to the oil, and toast for 30 seconds. 
  20. Stir-fry everything together until combined. 
  21. Add in the steak, and pour in the sauce mixture. 
  22. Give this a final mix, to coat everything in the sauce. Turn off the heat. 
  23. To serve, enjoy over rice!
