"Inspired by a Chinese-style beef stir-fry called “cong bao niu rou,” this simplified version uses white onion instead of scallion whites. The white onion adds a touch of sweetness to the dish and turns it into a perfect and quick dinner, made simply with pantry ingredients. Marinating beef with some soy sauce and vegetable oil is commonplace in Chinese stir-fries, which serves to keep the meat tender and juicy. Sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro or mint and fresh ginger over the dish, if desired."
