Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice all vegetables and beef to ensure a smooth cooking process.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add sliced beef and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add more oil if needed, then add minced garlic and ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add sliced onions, celery, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and snow peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until vibrant.
  • Toss in water chestnuts and stir to combine.
  • Mix soy sauce, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl then pour over vegetables.
  • Add the cooked beef back to the skillet, stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, add more soy sauce if necessary.
  • Serve hot over white rice or noodles.

Notes

For even more tender beef, marinate in soy sauce and cornstarch briefly before cooking. Adding a splash of oyster sauce can enhance flavor further.
