  • Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear until browned and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same pan, add another 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant and softened slightly, about 1 minute.
