Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Vegetables

1. Chop the Green Onions:
   • Divide the 4 green onion pods in half to separate the chives from the rest.
   • Cut the chives in half again, focusing on the white part, and cut it lengthwise.
2. Slice the Onion:
   • Cut the large onion into larger pieces.
3. Mince the Garlic:
   • Mince or chop the 4 garlic cloves very finely.

Step 2: Marinating the Meat

1. Slice the Beef:
   • Cut the beef into thin strips.
2. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons potato flour, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
3. Marinate the Beef:
   • Add the beef strips to the bowl and mix thoroughly, ensuring the meat is well-coated with the marinade. Set it aside for a moment.

Step 3: Cooking the Beef and Onion Stir Fry

1. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • Heat a pan with olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the onions and the white part of the green onion to the heated oil. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
   • Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon sugar for added flavor.
   • Once the vegetables are slightly caramelized, remove them from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook the Beef:
   • In the same pan, add the marinated beef. Because the beef strips are small, 3-4 minutes on each side should be enough to cook them thoroughly.
3. Add the Garlic and Sauce:
   • When the beef is cooked to your desired doneness, add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, and 80 ml water to the pan.
   • Stir everything together and let the sauce form. Allow the meat to heat for a little longer.
4. Combine with Vegetables:
   • Add back the sautéed chives and onions to the pan.
   • Give it a final toss to combine all the flavors.
