"This simple dish consists of marinated beef stir-fried with onion, garlic, snow peas, green peas, carrot, celery, and red bell pepper."

INGREDIENTS:

2 (1/2 pound) New York strip steaks, sliced into thin strips 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 sweet onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon oyster sauce salt and pepper to taste 1 pound snow peas 3/4 cup green peas 1 carrot, sliced 2 stalks celery, sliced 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks 1/4 cup oil for deep frying

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Place the sliced steak in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef slices and mix to coat. Whisk the soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves; pour over the beef slices. Mix and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2.	Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the oyster sauce into the onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Add the snow peas, green peas, carrot, celery, and red bell pepper; cook and stir until the vegetables are slightly tender, yet still crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
3.	Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a separate skillet. Remove the beef from the marinade, shaking off any excess moisture; discard the marinade. Fry the beef slices in the hot oil to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Add the cooked beef to the vegetable mixture and mix well. Serve hot.
