Heaps of crunchy, crisp-tender shishitos bring their welcoming, vegetal freshness to deeply browned beef and a pool of savory sauce slicked with a bit of butter. Use a mix of mild peppers—Cubanelle, banana, Anaheim—instead of, or alongside, the shishitos (just seed and trim into approximately 1" strips). Stick with low-sodium soy sauce and premium (rather than regular) oyster sauce if possible to ensure your finished dish isn’t overwhelmingly salty. As with any stir-fry, prep is key—about 15 minutes of slicing and marinating will successfully set you up for the final, dizzyingly fast cook.
