Cooking

  2. Add the marinated beef to the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until it's browned and cooked through.
  3. Toss in the sliced onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the onions become tender and translucent.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Add optional toppings if desired and enjoy hot!
