EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
1/4 cup Shao Hsing rice wine (see Ingredient note)
1 1/2 Tbsp oyster-flavored sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
4 tsp canola oil, divided
3/4 lb sirloin steak, trimmed of fat, cut in half lengthwise

1. Whisk rice wine, oyster sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl
until the cornstarch is dissolved.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over
medium-high heat. Add beef and crushed red pepper to taste; cook,
