Secret to Making Super Tender Beef & Onion Stir Fry 双葱炒嫩牛肉 Chinese Beef / Meat / Protein Recipe

Indulge in the tantalising flavours of Chinese Beef & Onion Stir Fry, where tender beef slices meet the aromatic essence of onions in a symphony of taste sensations. Thinly sliced and cooked to perfection, the beef boasts a succulent texture that beautifully complements the caramelised sweetness of the onions. Choosing the right cut of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin, is crucial for ensuring tenderness, although affordable options like beef chuck tender can yield equally delightful results with the correct slicing and marinating technique. Slicing the beef thinly against the grain aids in breaking down muscle fibres for a tender texture, while a touch of baking soda and corn flour in the marinade enhances its tenderness even further.
In the wok, a medley of oyster sauce, soy sauce, onions, and spring onions, complemented by a hint of sesame oil (optional), infuses the dish with the quintessential flavours of Chinese cuisine. Each mouthful offers a delightful interplay of savoury and subtly sweet notes, heightened by the wok's smoky essence. Served piping hot alongside a steaming bowl of fluffy rice, this dish epitomises comfort and satisfaction, earning its place as a beloved favourite in Chinese cuisine.

All four of my kids loved this ❤️ Even the super fussy one!! I added blanched carrot batons and one of my kids said "Mmm I even like the carrots, I usually don't like carrots 😮" This recipe is amazing, Thankyou!!

[@spicenpans]

Woohooz! That’s a huge win! Thanks so much for using our recipe, xxkissmeketutxx ❤️❤️❤️

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

@spicenpans All the gratitude goes to you friend. Haha, you pinned my little comment? I feel famous now 🍾🥳 I had a little left over, so I put in a cheeky teaspoon of crushed ginger, so yum!! Thanks again! 🙏🏼

[@susangarland6869]

I've found that anything less than a couple of teaspoons of baking soda doesn't really do much tenderizing, but eating that much soda is horrible. So, the trick I use is 2 teaspoons of baking soda for every pound of meat with just enough water (1-2 tablespoons) to help evenly distribute the soda, massage it in for a few seconds, and let it sit for an hour. After one hour, just rinse off the soda (3-4 times), drain the meat thoroughly, add the marinade ingredients, and let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking. Super tender meat, absolutely no soda taste.

[@kissesyouirl]

Same! Exactly what i do, the soda taste is awful! Haha

[@SassiLass01]

Soda also helps with browning ... both meat and onions.

[@sabbyn.1815]

I used ginger juice and it helps to breakdown the meat too

[@BellaBlkBerry]

I think it also depends on what's in your marinade and how long you let it marinate. I only use one teaspoon of baking soda, but I'm also picky about my choice of beef and how it's cut. The thicker the cut the harder time your marinade is going to have tenderizing your meat. I don't have the baking soda taste, and the meat turns out succulent and tender as all get out.

[@sherlynnaleewong4159]

Cooked this dish for dinner last night. Didn't come out looking like yours but it was a winner taste-wise! Simple and delicious. Thank you so much!

[@Natalie-health-wellness]

I love this dish… I always order in restaurants, I’m so happy I can make it at home. Yum 😋

[@desgoulding7154]

Hi Roland, Can’t thank you enough for showing step by step how to do this very nice dish looks so great and tasty.

[@spicenpans]

You are very welcome, mate. Thank you so much too for watching our video every week 🙏🙏🙏

[@lolitakaur4125]

Easy and looks amazing!Thank you for sharing.

[@BellaBlkBerry]

I have made this dish from another prominent youtuber, and it's almost exactly the same with the exception of the oil. He only adds the oil right before sauteing. Says the oil will prevent the marinade from properly penetrating the meat. This is one fantastically tasty dish. You have some different spices so I can't wait to try yours because I have been craving some asian style beef. Looks amazing!

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

Thank you, nice and easy and looks delicious. I love all your recipes, this is on today’s menus for me. 👍

[@apetlambinicio2611]

I love Asian food. I would eat it everyday.

[@RoddieH]

Love this one, Roland. I often make the beef and onion stir fry you posted six years ago where you used the "pass through the oil" method, and I've used that technique on every protein since then.

[@gweesiewling5856]

Roddie or Roland, can any of you pls share this 'pass through the oil ' technique? I can't seem to find it. Thanks...

Hello Rowland, What brand and model did you get your cutting board from, I'm in Southern California?

[@theguynextdoor4978]

This was my favourite street classic in Jalan Alaor in Kuala Lumpur. Will try making this with chicken. Beef costs nearly 50$ a KG here in Norway. Inflation is crazy.

[@830jkl]

I believe I have that exact same wok. 🥘♥️

[@nerinat8371]

[@spicenpans]

My pleasure 😊 happy cooking, nerinat!

So thank you for this dish😍

[@mrs.rabbit621]

Lol. My favorite home chef!

[@spicenpans]

🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@PerilousPaddy]

You said it was Chuck, would Beisket also work or is that just too hard a cut to work with for tender food? I know Beisket gets tender when cooked low and slow for ages but I just love the taste of Brisket and would love to be able to cook it this way as an alternative cooking method. I'm not sure what cut Chuck would be in the UK.

Hi! Roland, can i use pork to cook this? Which part of the pork meat should i buy? Thanks 😊

[@spicenpans]

Yes you can, you can use pork loin or shoulder butt (fattier).

[@TheSssotong]

@@spicenpans Thank you. Which part will be more tender?

[@npaujlis-angel8889]

Will baking soda make the meat bitter?

[@queenvsev4800]

What cut of meat are you using?

[@jamescereda2628]

Can i just use regular soy sauce instead of the light and dark soy sauce? Thank you from Napa California

[@simplyme3306]

for Asians, light soy sauce means regular soy sauce. Light and dark refers to the "colour".

[@bintakawu3064]

Can I add other vegetables like brocoli, snap peas and baby corn and at what point to be added thank you

Hihi. We bought them from Taobao 👍

[@user-cc9dy9xe6j]

Thank you so much for sharing!@@spicenpans

[@maricelisfigueroa856]

How can I do if I want the meat with more sauce but not salty?

[@RoddieH]

Low sodium soy sauce might be your best bet.

[@susangarland6869]

Sugar balances the salt. That's why you always see Asian recipes using sugar -- more sauce without more saltiness. You can also add some water to reduce the intensity of the flavor while increasing the total amount of sauce. You'll have to play around with combinations until you find what you like.

[@JohnSmith-ir1fo]

Just add water and thicken it with corn starch

[@spicenpans]

Thanks everyone for helping marice!

[@marianneyana299]

Please! Recipe! Written Thanks

What was the Chinese ingredient ypu added at the end? Thanks

Chinese cooking wine. Available in asian grocers or Your local grocery store should have it in the asian section. I'm glad I didn't have to omit it, it helps the dish.
