# How To Make:

01 - Combine beef slices with soy sauce, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly and let stand for 10 minutes to tenderize.

02 - Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, water, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and fully dissolved.

03 - Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add marinated beef and stir fry 1-2 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.

04 - Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Stir fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

05 - Add carrots and snow peas to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and brightly colored.

06 - Return beef to the pan. Pour in prepared sauce and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and evenly coats all ingredients.

07 - Remove from heat immediately. Garnish with sliced spring onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

This dinner comes together in under half an hour but tastes like it took way more effort and planning than it actually did
The sauce balances salty and sweet perfectly, coating every bite without being heavy or overwhelming

02 -

High heat is nonnegotiable here because it creates the wok hei flavor that makes stir fry taste authentic rather than steamed
Crowding the pan lowers the temperature instantly, so cook in batches if your wok is not big enough for everything to touch the cooking surface

03 -

Slice the beef when it is slightly frozen, which makes cutting those thin, even strips so much easier and safer
Pat the beef dry with paper towels before marinating if it is wet, or the marinade will slide right off instead of coating the meat
