↪️5. Add onion
Add sliced onion and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly soft but still crisp.
↪️6. Combine everything
Add the cooked beef back in. Stir in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
↪️7. Serve
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
