This Beef Stir Fry looks so mouthwatering and sumptuous, isn’t it? I know that it looks good, but don’t be intimidated to try making one for yourself because contrary to the way it looks, this dish is so easy and quick to prepare. In fact, the amount of ingredients needed and the preparation time of this Beef Stir Fry Recipe best resembles the dishes featured by Rachel Ray in her show, 30 minute meals.

I was able to take a glimpse of this recipe through a Filipino-Chinese cooking segment a long way back (I was probably 12 years old back then). The  way the host executed the Beef Stir Fry Recipe immediately caught my attention. I love the fact that the outcome came out so pretty and the chef seemed to do everything with ease. I immediately tried the dish a couple of times and formulated a recipe based on my preference. This Beef Stir Fry Recipe is now the result


Serves 4 
1 pound beef strip steak (sliced thinlu)
2 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 whole sweet onion (chopped)
2 whole garlic cloves (crushed)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 pinch salt and pepper (to taste)
100 grams snow peas
3/4 cup green peas
1 whole carrot (sliced)
2 whole celery stalks (sliced)
1 whole red bell pepper (seeded and cut into chunks)
1/4 cup oil (for deep frying)

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.
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, about 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.
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.
