Sliced beef with onions

Here's a pretty simple dish to prepare. Also, not too much ingredients are involved.

Ingredients:
pack of sliced beef

Chopped Onion (i'm using sweet red onion here)

Salt
Black pepper
Honey (optional)
Sesame oil
Oyster sauce

Step 1:
Marinate the beef with some salt, black pepper, little bit of honey (the onions will be very sweet already), and little bit of sesame oil.

Step 2:
Heat up a pan/wok with oil and put in the onion. What you want to do is pan fry the onions until they turn brownish. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.


Step 3:
Once the onion is ready, add the marinated beef and stir fried it for 2-3 minutes. Pay attention to the color of the beef, since these are thin slices it'll cook rather quickly. Once the beef is ready add in some oyster sauce and mix.


Step 4:
Do a taste test to make sure the flavor is okay. For me, this dish should be a bit sweet (onions) rather than salty so I didn't put too much oyster sauce or salt in there. Flavor wise, that's your preference. Plate, serve and enjoy!

Goes extremely well with a bowl of rice. Shouldn't take more than 10minutes to cook if you have everything ready.
