INGREDIENTS:
| 2 pounds sirloin, sliced into strips 1 garlic clove, mashed 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt | 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 big onion, sliced in rings crosswise 3 tbsp. oil 1/4 cup hot water 1 tbsp. minced green onions |
DIRECTION:
- Slice sirloin into 2” x 4” strips. Combine garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Rub mixture on beef slices. Dredge slices in cornstarch. Let stand for 30 minutes. Heat skillet on medium high heat for 30 seconds.
- Add 1 tbsp. oil in sauté onions in hot oil in skillet until soft but not limp, about 1 to 2 minutes; should still retain its ring shape. Transfer onion slices to a platter. Add remaining oil to skillet.
- Fry beef slices in skillet over medium high heat a few slices at a time until brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Avoid lowering heat or over crowding the pan so the beef browns rather than stews. Remove meat to platter. Fry the rest of the meat the same way.
- Add 1/4 cup hot water to skillet, simmer for 3-4 minutes, scrapping off browned bits in the skillet. Pour this sauce over meat, scatter sautéed onion rings on top, and sprinkle with minced green onions.
