Beef with Onion Stir-fry
Today I am going to share the recipe of a super flavorful beef with onion stir fry. To make this dish, all you’ll need are a few simple ingredients, common sauces to make Chinese food and 30 minutes.
Sounds easy enough? Let’s get started,
Like I mentioned above, it is a very simple dish, no complex cooking techniques are needed. But some small tips could be very helpful for making sure the dish will eventually turn out well.
Tip number one, when cooking the onion, use medium heat not high heat. Because the high heat will burn the onion easily. Tip number two, cook the onion and the beef separately. Tip number three, add in the pepper last, because it requires the least amount of time to be cooked through.
Yum, yum! My Beef with Onion stir fry has just been finished and I am ready to share it with my family now. Let me know how you like this recipe and what questions you have about how to make it.
Below is how I made this dish step-by-step. The total time needed is about 30 minutes!
