Ingredients

1 lb flank steak or skirt steak / flat iron steak / sirloin tip steak
8 oz cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms, sliced into quarters
2 green onions chopped into 2-inch-long pieces
½ large onion julienned
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Beef Marinade

3 tablespoon water room temperature
1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch / potato starch
1 teaspoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
½ teaspoon baking soda to tenderize the beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Stir-Fry Sauce

¼ cup chicken stock low sodium (or sub with water)
3 garlic cloves minced
1.5 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir-fry sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry wine / dry white wine / chicken stock
½ tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch / potato starch
2 teaspoon white granulated sugar or cane sugar
2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Slice flank steak against the grain into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Transfer beef slices to a large bowl.
Marinate sliced beef with marinade ingredients as listed above and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. Do not marinate past 30 minutes or this over tenderizes the beef and changes the taste.
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat, fry beef until cooked through and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove cooked beef from the pan and set aside.
Sauté onions and mushrooms until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Then pour in the sauce and simmer to thicken it.
Toss in cooked beef and green onions until beef is evenly coated in sauce, about 30 seconds. Serve and enjoy!
