Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the wok. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 cups trimmed snow peas. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and snow peas.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 2 sliced green onions before serving hot over steamed rice or noodles.
