Add the sliced onion to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

6. Return beef to skillet:

Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and mix well with the onions.

7. Season the stir-fry:

Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
