This Chinese stir-fried beef with onions gets its distinctive flavor from two types of onions—yellow onions and green onions—for a satisfying dish. This easy, saucy stir-fried beef recipe comes together quickly in a wok for a hearty weeknight family dish that is fancy enough for guests.

The perfectly flavored beef and onions may be served with hot cooked rice or noodles. Add a simple Chinese cucumber salad or side vegetable for a well-rounded meal.

"The Chinese stir-fried beef was delicious with hot cooked rice. The flavors were excellent, and it was super-fast and easy to cook in a wok over high heat. Besides a little measuring, prep included slicing the meat and slicing/chopping the ginger, garlic, and onions. Easy-peasy! I used top sirloin in the dish." —Diana Rattray

Recipe Variations

How to Store and Freeze

• Refrigerate leftover stir-fried beef in a shallow container within 2 hours and eat within 3 days. To reheat, warm in a saucepan over medium-low heat until hot.

What Is the Difference Between Regular or Light Soy Sauce and Dark Soy Sauce?

Dark soy sauce is darker, thicker, and slightly sweeter and less salty than regular/light soy sauce. It flavors dishes and adds rich, dark color. Light soy sauce is light in color and salty, and it does not mean low sodium. If it is a Chinese brand of soy sauce, it is "light" soy sauce.
