Ingredients
Potatoes: Peeled russets or Yukon golds make the crispiest rounds. Look for firm potatoes without green spots
Olive oil: Helps the potatoes turn golden when frying. Use extra virgin if you want deeper flavor
Salt and black pepper: Bring out the natural flavor of both the beef and potatoes. Go with freshly ground pepper for brightness
Garlic powder: Infuses the potatoes with a mellow, roasted flavor
Vegetable oil: Has a high smoke point so the potatoes fry evenly
Beef: Sirloin or flank steak gets tender fast when sliced thin. Choose cuts with some marbling for flavor
Soy sauce: In both marinade and sauce adds umami and the classic stir-fry taste. Use low sodium if you prefer
Cornstarch: Locks in juiciness for the beef and thickens the sauce
Red and green bell pepper: Brighten up the plate and give a sweet crunch. Pick peppers with vivid color and shiny skins
Onion and garlic: Essential for the aromatic base. Choose fresh cloves for best taste
Green chili: Optional for those who love a little heat. Use fresh chili for a sharper kick
Oyster sauce and hoisin sauce: Give deep, hint-of-sweet complexity. Taste your sauces before using since brands can vary
Sugar: Balances the savoriness
Beef broth or water: Helps bring the sauce together and create a silky texture
