Ingredients
Steps

Crush the garlic cloves with a knife and finely mince them.

Cut the onion into large strips and separate the layers.
- 4
Slice the beef against the grain into average thickness pieces.

- 6
Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil.
- 7
Add the white part of the green onion and onion to the hot pan. Stir fry until the raw taste is gone, seasoning with a little sugar and salt. Remove from the pan once ready.

Add more oil to the pan and then add the beef, spreading it out. Let it pan fry without stirring until the bottom is slightly brown.

Stir the beef and add the minced garlic. Stir fry until the beef is about 70% done.
