INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar.

Add 1-1/2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining beef, adding it to the bowl with the first batch when done.Put the remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons oil in the skillet and heat until shimmering hot.

Add the garlic mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the pan and stir to combine.
Add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the beef and onions are coated and the sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes.
