Instead of ordering out Chinese food, do it yourself. Great with white rice or sticky rice (jasmine rice). Family recipe! Substitute beef with 1/2-inch pieces chicken breast prepared the same as the beef above or 2 cups cooked shrimp prepared as above.

Step 2

Bring rice and 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bamboo shoots, mushrooms, 1/4 cup green onion, green bell pepper, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons soy sauce in the hot oil until green bell pepper is slightly tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add steak, broccoli, and sugar snap peas; cook until beef is browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Heat oyster sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; slowly stir in cornstarch mixture until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir oyster sauce mixture into steak mixture; sprinkle with 1/4 cup green onions. Cook steak mixture until sauce is thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Serve over rice.

Pretty good. I used pork since I didn't have beef and created a sauce with fish and hoisin sauce since I didn't have oyster sauce. Hubs really enjoyed it and we ate it over rice with egg rolls. thanks for the recipe! Read More

The flavor is there after I marinated the steaks overnight but the meat is way overcooked using these instructions. At this point it's basically overcooked pork. Nothing special it's really just stir fry. Read More

I liked it but the meat lacked flavor. Next time I'll marinate the meat in fresh minced onion garlic soy sauce and some fresh minced ginger root for at least an hour. I'll also cook it first - good meat doesn't need 10 minutes. Stir-frying over reasonably high heat for just a few minutes is enough then set the meat aside and do the vegetables add the sauce ingredients then I'll add the meat back to the pan to heat it. I will give it another try with the above changes. Read More

I used fresh onion garlic mushroom and added fresh ginger. I did not have the flavor in the meat that I hoped for. Next time I will marinate in the oyster sauce overnight. Read More

This was good but it was really salty and I used reduced sodium soy sauce. Read More

Apparently this is a versatile recipe as I was missing several of the vegetables and forgot to add the soy sauce the second time and it still turned out great. I used low sodium soy sauce on the meat and skipped thickening the oyster sauce. My kids and husband ate it up. Looking forward to following the recipe next time! Read More
