Instructions
- 1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and Ā½ tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer, working in two batches if needed to avoid crowding, and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side until deep brown on at least two faces. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion wedges to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5ā6 minutes until softened and the edges are golden. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant, watching closely so they don't scorch.
