Preparation Steps:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   • Peel and slice the onions. Wash, dry, and thinly slice the cilantro.
   • Cut the beef into strips and place it in a deep dish. Spread the sliced onions over the meat.
   • Drizzle with a tablespoon of soy sauce, a tablespoon of peanut oil, a tablespoon of water, and sprinkle with pepper and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
   • Let the beef marinate for 20 minutes in the fridge.
2. Cook the Rice:

3. Sauté the Beef and Onions:
   • Heat two tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
   • Sauté the marinated beef in small batches for about 2 minutes until browned. Remove the cooked meat from the wok and set aside.
   • Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and sauté the sliced onions for about 5 minutes until they become caramelized and fragrant.
   • Pour in the marinade juice from the beef and bring it to a boil.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked beef to the wok with the onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
   • Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Spoon the pepper steak with onions over the rice.
