Marinade Ingredients:
- 1.5 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions:

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the beef with all the marinade ingredients. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Sauté the Onions: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until fragrant and slightly translucent.
