Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, sugar, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, curry powder, and peanut butter. Add the water gradually and stir until the sauce is smooth and pourable.

Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the sauce, toss to coat, and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add the garlic-sauce-coated beef only after the pan is hot enough to sizzle immediately.

Add the onion and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until slightly softened but still crisp.

Add the beef and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, just until mostly browned. If using chicken, pork, or prawns instead, cook until almost done before adding the vegetables.
