1/4 c. Maggi seasoning (opt.)

Directions
Thinly slice flank steak, then cut the slices into very thin strips.

Add soy, Maggi and gin to beef.
Let marinate for at least one hour.
Slice onions, keeping slices fairly wide so they don't get mushy.
Heat oil in wok or frying pan on high.
Add beef and stir until cooked, 3-5 minutes.
Remove beef.
Add onions to pan and sprinkle with sugar.
Once onions have softened a bit, add beef and oyster sauce, stirring for about 5 minutes.
