Ingredients

Sauce

1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves finely diced or minced

Stir Fry

1 tablespoon oil
1 lb. beef strips
1 onion peeled and sliced into wedges
2 celery sticks thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped
2 carrots peeled, halved lengthways and thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas trimmed, tightly packed
1 cup water chestnuts

Instructions

To make the sauce, add the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over a high heat. Add the beef strips in 2-3 batches and cook, stirring, until just browned all over. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high.
Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until softened. Add the snow peas and chestnuts and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the snow peas have just softened.
Return the beef strips to the vegetables along with the sauce. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the beef has warmed through and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and serve.
Serve over rice if desired.

Notes

Grocery stores sell beef strips in packages but you can also slice a boneless NY strip steak or sirloin steak into 2 inch strips.
