Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
Step 3: In the same wok, add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok, drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil, and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and snow peas.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced scallions before serving immediately with steamed rice if desired.
