For Cooking and Serving

  • Green Onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Steak: Lay your sirloin steak on a cutting board and slice it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Slicing against the grain will ensure that the steak is tender and easy to chew.
  2. Combine Marinade Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Make sure everything is well combined. The cornstarch will help to tenderize the steak and thicken the sauce later on.
  3. Marinate the Steak: Add the sliced steak to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the steak evenly, ensuring that every piece is covered in the flavorful mixture.
  4. Let it Rest: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the steak to a resealable bag. Place it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender the steak will become.
  5. Prep the Onion: Peel the onion and slice it thinly.
  6. Prep the Bell Peppers: Wash the bell peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Slice them into thin strips, similar in size to the onion slices.
  7. Prep the Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into small florets.
  8. Prep the Carrots: Peel the carrots and slice them thinly.
  9. Prep the Snow Peas: Trim the ends of the snow peas and remove any strings.
  10. Prep the Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice them.
  11. Prep the Water Chestnuts: Drain the water chestnuts and slice them.
  12. Mince the Garlic and Ginger: Mince the garlic and ginger finely.
  13. Arrange Vegetables: Place all the prepared vegetables in a large bowl or container.
  14. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to prevent lumps in the sauce.
  15. Set Aside: Set the sauce aside until you’re ready to use it.
  16. Preheat the Blackstone: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
  17. Add Oil: Once the Blackstone is hot, add the vegetable oil. Spread it evenly over the cooking surface.
  18. Cook the Steak: Add the marinated steak to the Blackstone in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the griddle. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the steak from the Blackstone and set it aside.
  19. Cook the Vegetables: Add the onion, bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli to the Blackstone. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  20. Add Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the Blackstone and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  21. Add Remaining Vegetables: Add the snow peas, mushrooms, and water chestnuts to the Blackstone. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until they are heated through.
  22. Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce over the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
  23. Combine Everything: Add the cooked steak back to the Blackstone and toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for another minute or two, until everything is heated through and well coated in the sauce.
  24. Serve Over Rice: Spoon the stir-fry over cooked rice.
  25. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
