Add the Beef:
Once the aromatic vegetables are ready, add the thinly sliced beef to the pan. Stir well to ensure the beef is evenly cooked. -
Add Water and Seasonings:
Pour in the hot water and let the mixture simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce to about one-fourth of the pan, which should take approximately 3 minutes. -
Flavoring:
Stir in the sweet soy sauce and oyster sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors. -
Add Onion:
Finally, add the sliced onion to the pan. Stir briefly to mix. Turn off the heat while the onion remains slightly crisp for added texture and flavor. -
