\nNote:<\/strong>
\nFlank steak<\/strong> is usually too wide for bite sized pieces, so it’s best to cut it in half lengthwise and then thinly slice each half.<\/p>\n
\nCombine the steak<\/strong>, Shaoxing wine<\/strong>, oyster sauce<\/strong>, and oil<\/strong>, in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well with your hands to knead and coat the beef<\/strong> evenly. Add the cornstarch<\/strong> and knead that in. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.<\/p>\n
\nPull the strings from the snow peas and slice the onion in half, trim the root end and tip, then slice lengthwise (julienne) in \u00bd-inch wide strips.<\/p>\n
\nCombine all the sauce<\/strong> ingredients, chicken stock, oyster sauce,\u00a0 Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, sugar, and corn starch <\/strong>\u00a0in a small bowl.\u00a0 <\/strong>Stir to dissolve the sugar <\/strong>and cornstarch.<\/strong><\/span> Add the sesame oil<\/strong> and set it aside.<\/p>\n
\nHeat oil<\/strong> in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the marinated steak<\/strong> into a single layer, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding if necessary. Sear on one side for 1 minute or until the bottom is lightly charred. Flip and sear for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the other side is cooked but the inside is still slightly pink. Transfer the steak<\/strong> to a plate, leaving any excess oil in the pan.<\/p>\n
\nIf the pan looks dry, add another TBS of oil<\/strong> to the pan. Add the snow peas<\/strong> and onions.<\/strong> Cook and stir for about 1 minute.<\/p>\n
\nStir the sauce<\/strong> again to dissolve the cornstarch<\/strong> completely and pour it into the pan. Add the beef<\/strong> back to the pan. Stir until the sauce<\/strong> thickens. Immediately transfer everything to a large plate and serve hot as a main dish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
