Steak stir fry.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

1. Prep Your Ingredients

Step 2

​The Steak: Slice it thin against the grain. (Optional: Toss it with a tiny splash of your soy sauce and a pinch of garlic powder while you prep everything else).

Step 3

​The Potatoes: Cut them into thin matchsticks (like shoestring fries) or very small, thin cubes. The smaller they are, the faster they will cook and crisp up.

Step 4

​The Celery: Slice it on a bias (diagonally) into thin pieces. This increases the surface area so it cooks fast but stays crisp.

Step 5

​The Pearl Onions: Peel them and cut them in half (or leave them whole if they are quite small).

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together your sauce so it’s ready to pour at the end. Because you are missing a fresh hot pepper or hot sauce, we will lean into the chili powder for warmth, balanced by the sweetness of the honey. ​Base: 3–4 tablespoons Soy Sauce ​Sweet: 1 tablespoon Honey ​Nutty/Aroma: 1 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil (a little goes a long way) ​Spices: 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Regular Pepper, and a generous pinch of Season Salt. ​The Heat: Add your Chili Powder here. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and taste it—add more if you want a deeper, earthy warmth.

Step 7

​Crisp the Potatoes First: Heat a tablespoon of regular cooking oil (or a tiny splash of sesame oil mixed with regular oil) in your pan. Add the potato pieces. Cook them, stirring frequently, until they are golden-brown and just tender (about 5–7 minutes). Remove them from the pan and set them aside.

Step 8

Sear the Steak: Turn the heat up to high. Add another splash of oil if the pan is dry. Add the steak slices in a single layer. Let them sear for about 1 minute without moving them to get a nice crust, then flip and cook for 1 more minute until just browned. Remove the steak and set it aside with the potatoes.

Step 9

Cook the Veggies (Celery & Onions): Toss your pearl onions and all that celery into the hot pan. Stir-fry them rapidly for about 2–3 minutes. You want the onions to soften slightly and the celery to turn bright green while keeping its crunch.

Step 10

​Combine and Sauce: Turn the heat down to medium. Dump the potatoes and steak back into the pan with the veggies. Give your sauce mix a quick stir and pour it directly over everything.

Step 11

The Final Toss: Stir-fry everything together for about 1 to 2 minutes. The honey and soy sauce will bubble up and reduce into a glossy, savory glaze that coats the beef and veggies.
