Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Beef Bowls
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, dark soy sauce, white sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
  2. Place a large skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmers.
  3. Add minced garlic and finely chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and onion turns translucent.
  4. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes until the meat is browned.
