Steak & Onions Recipe

Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 cups steak, sliced thinly across the grain (you can also start with raw steak)

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced (I love garlic, so feel free to adjust!)

• 1/2 tbsp shoyu (soy sauce) (just one or two circles around the pan)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper (sprinkle evenly)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder & 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional, but I like the texture it adds)

• 2-4 tbsp oyster sauce (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 cup water (for that delicious gravy)

• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

• Hot rice, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak: Slice your leftover steak into thin strips, cutting across the grain to keep it tender.

2. Heat the Pan: Warm up a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3. Sauté the Aromatics: Toss in the sliced onions and minced garlic, stirring until fragrant.

4. Add the Steak: Stir in the steak slices and let them sear for about 1 minute.

5. Season It Up: Drizzle in soy sauce, sprinkle in black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

6. Make It Saucy: Add oyster sauce and pour in the 1/2 cup water. Stir well.

7. Thicken (Optional): If you want a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the pan.
