Make sauceIn a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients (dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, beef broth, black pepper, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
Sear beefSeason steak slices with 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Heat a large skillet over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add 1.5 Tbsp of the oil, then add steak in a single layer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally so both sides cook and brown. Remove steak to a plate. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook the beef in batches.
Stir fry veggiesTo the same skillet, still over MED HIGH heat, add another 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Add mushrooms, stirring occasionally, cooking until they¡¯re golden brown. Set aside on the plate with the steak. Add the last 1 Tbsp of oil, and the onion and Thai chiles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant. Reduce heat to MED, then add garlic, ginger, and snow peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
CombineAdd the steak and mushrooms from the plate. Stir to combine. Give the sauce from step 1 a whisk to redistribute the cornstarch, then pour sauce into the skillet. Cook several minutes, stirring often, until mixture simmers and thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
ServeServe hot, garnished with plenty of green onions, sesame seeds, and some additional sliced Thai chiles. We like to serve this beef over rice.
- I've estimated this recipe serves 4, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- Since this is a stir fry, things move fairly quickly. I definitely recommend making sure all veggies are prepped, etc, and following the steps in the order I¡¯ve written them, so things are prepped and ready for you. Otherwise, it can get pretty hectic.
