CHEF NOTES:

I can’t stress enough to use ingredients you like as the stir fry sauce will complement the just about anything.
To keep this recipe completely vegetarian, do not use the oyster sauce.
No matter what cut of beef you select; It should be thinly sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Mirin or rice wine would be preferred over sherry wine if you can find it.
I recommend using an oil with a high smoking point like canola or vegetable oil.
