Oil substitute

A great tasty substitute for oil when doing stir fry or browning meat

MORE INFORMATION:
My husband likes to take 1/2 to 1 whole onion and slowly cook it until it is translucent and there is a good amount of fluid. We like to use his "onion juice" for stir-fry and for browing meat. It tastes great and adds no fat!
