Beef Stir-Fry with Vegetables
Much better than the take-out meal, and the best is that I can control what go into my dish. Quite easy to make, and it tasted delicious.

Directions
Marinate the sirloin at room temperature in a mixture of sherry, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, the sugar, ½ teaspoon of the oil, the pepper, and garlic for an hour.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a wok over high heat.
Stir-fry beef quickly, until the meat is brown outside and pink inside.
Remove.
Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch with the oyster sauce.
Reheat the wok with the remaining tablespoon oil.
Add the broccoli and carrots; stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the broth, cover the wok, and steam for approximately 1 minute or until the vegetables are tender but retain their crunch.
Add the corn, snow peas, scallion, beef, and oyster sauce- cornstarch mixture.
Heat quickly, until the sauce is clear and thickened.
Serve immediately over rice or chinese noodles.
