Equipment

Ingredients

Beef

16 oz sirloin steak thinly sliced
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch

Rest of Stir Fry

1 small onion cut into thick wedges
3 scallions cut into ½-inch pieces, whites and greens separated

For the Sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup dashi broth
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp water

Optional Serving

Steamed rice

Instructions

Place the sliced sirloin in a bowl and marinate with Shaoxing wine, salt, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
While the beef marinates, cut the onion into thick wedges and slice the scallions into ½-inch pieces, separating the whites and greens.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, dashi broth, sugar, and water. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Add the beef and sear on both sides until browned, then remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onions and scallion whites. Cook until slightly softened and lightly charred.
Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Finish by adding the scallion greens and toss until just wilted.
Serve in a bowl.
