Instructions

Preparing the Beef:

1. Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain, about 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

2. In a bowl, combine beef with soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger for the marinade.

3. Let marinate for 10 minutes, then toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Making the Sauce:

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, water, chili flakes, and black pepper.

2. Set aside until ready to use.

Cooking the Stir-Fry:

1. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking.

2. Add the coated beef in batches, avoiding overcrowding, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

3. Remove beef and set aside on a plate.

4. If using vegetables, quickly stir-fry broccoli and snap peas for 3-4 minutes, then add onion and cook until translucent.

5. Return beef to the pan and pour in the honey garlic sauce.

6. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
