How to Make Beef Kwantung

  1. Prepare all vegetables: Cut the onion into 1-inch pieces, the steak into 1/2x2 inch strips, and the tomatoes into wedges. Slice mushrooms and celery thinly. Trim snow peas.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and celery; sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the onion and continue to sauté for another minute.
  5. Add the beef strips to the wok and stir-fry until browned (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Add the snow peas, soy sauce, and tomato wedges. Stir well to combine.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and chicken broth until smooth.
  8. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the wok. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes clear (about 1-2 minutes).
  9. Serve the Beef Kwantung stir-fry immediately over hot cooked rice.
