Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sliced onions about 1 large or 2 medium (I like to cut mine in half and then vertically, you can just slice if you want)
  • 3 Baby Bok Choy (or 1 large) Cut into 1 inch slices, bottoms and leafy tops seperated
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil I like grapeseed oil
  • 1 pound flank steak or other lean steak, cut thinly across the grain

Meat Marinade

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 2 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seed oil
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon Five-Spice mix

To Finish

  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups steamed cooked rice

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; when hot, add the onion. Sprinkle a little salt over the onions, then cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned, about 7 - 10 minutes.
  • While the onions brown, slice the meat across the grain and toss in a bowl with the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame seed oil, and Five-Spice mix. Marinate until the onions are done.
    Remove the onions from the pan and wipe clean with paper towels .
  • Increase the heat to medium-high; then add the meat, along with the marinade and stir-fry until the meat is lightly browned; about 2 - 3 minutes.
    Return the onions to the work along with the bok choy bottoms. Stir fry 1 minute.
    Mix the cornstarch into the beef broth. Add the beef broth; cook, stirring, 1 - 2 minutes, until thickened. Add the bok choy tops. Stir until just wilted.
  • Place the rice into warmed bowls, split the meat mixture over and serve. Top with some sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For best results, slice the meat thinly across the grain. Do not overcook.
Keep the bok choy crisp by adding it only for a few minutes. 
Serve with Jasmine rice, Twice Cooked Brown rice, or Cauliflower rice..
