Instructions

  • Marinate the Beef:

    • Remove and set aside.

  • Stir-Fry the Onions:

    • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.

    • Stir-fry sliced onions for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften and char slightly.

    • Add garlic and sugar; stir for another 30 seconds.

  • Combine and Finish:

    • Return the beef to the skillet and toss with the onions until everything is well combined and heated through (about 1 minute).

 

  • Serve:

    • Garnish with green onions if desired.

    • Serve hot over white rice.
