Ingredients
- 1 pound New York strip steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound snow peas
- ¾ cup green peas
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
Instructions
- Place sliced steak in a large bowl; sprinkle cornstarch over top and toss to coat.
- Whisk soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves; pour over the steak. Mix and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in oyster sauce and season with salt and pepper.
- Add snow peas, green peas, carrot, celery, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove vegetables from the skillet.
- Remove steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess moisture; discard the marinade.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Fry steak in the hot skillet to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Add the vegetables back to the skillet; mix well and cook until just heated through. Serve hot.

Left out the celery & carrots but added baby corn & bamboo shoots. Marinated the meat for 2 days and it was delicious! I didn’t measure anything so it’s very forgiving ??. My husband wished there was a sauce so I may try to figure that out next time! Added some chili paste for spice too
I made this and it was a hint. I used recipe as was written, but had no peas so used snow peas and had bean sprouts so added them. I will make again.
horrible
Excellent! Thanks!
This is one of my favorites…
LOVED LOVED LOVED this. The key is the oyster sauce…tastes nothing like oysters btw. It is the secret to making a dish at home that tasted like you ordered takeout from an authentic Asian restaurant.
I make this quite a bit now. I like the flavor of the oyster sauce. It gives it a distinctive Asian flavor. Wish it were a little more saucy, though.
Made this and the family loved it. Very little leftover and that my wife took to work for lunch. The meat was very tender and flavorful. Will make again .
It was rather mediocre I’d make it again if I was in a pinch but it wasn’t what I was expecting…
A good recipe. Nothing amazing. I didn’t have oyster sauce, so that may have been a factor.
I’ve made this time and again and it’s always a huge hit with the family. Thank you for this amazing recipe!
It didn’t have enough flavor, like it was missing something or several somethings. My son (who is half Filipino) didn’t like it and my husband didn’t even eat any. 🙁
I doubled the meat since I have young boys who have a hearty appetite. I increased the veggies as well. I used snap peas instead of snow peas which worked fine. I adjusted the spices accordingly. It was very good.
Its sooo good! Added 2 more tbsp of oyster sauce and also added half more tbps of soy sauce to the marinade.. Did not have snap peas so I omitted that.. But added green bell peppers
Excellent for a busy week night dinner. Favors blended well. I made my rice in my electric pressured cooker in 6 minutes to serve along side this. For a very thin slice on your meat I left mine partially frozen. This was easier to slice very thin for a quick fry. I had all the ingredients on hand. But is easy enough to use any vegetable thank you.
My family loved this. My dad used to enjoy beef and brocolli. He can’t eat broccoli anymore. This was such a treat for him. Thank you!!
This meal is delish! The only thing I altered was I doubled the recipe for the marinade bc it seemed like there wasn’t much of anything in the bowl. I didn’t add the peas and celery because my family aren’t fans. Everything else was followed as described and it was a hit! This meal will be in our rotation for sure!
Very delicious recipe love it would be making it again 🙂
Just a wonderful meal
This was an easy recipe that even my boyfriend was able to cook and it turned out very tasty!!! The mix of vegetables is perfect!!!
i tweeked this recipe so much, it’s not even close to original so i don’t feel right calling this a review. it was fantastic! but, what seperats it from stir-fry is i laid out the beef strips( like bacon) in 1/8″ deep hot oil and fried it until it just began to get a nice crispy “finish”. note: the cornstarch sticks to the pan almost immediately, so gently turn the meat and stay on your toes. a bit time consuming, but worth it! i added 2 more Tblsp oyster sauce and sweetened it with 2T hoisin sauce.
