Method:

1. Very thinly slice the steak and place in a dish. Sprinkle on the soy sauce, sugar and pepper and add half the corn-flour and oil. Mix well and marinate for 1 hour.

2. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or heavy pan. Peel the onion and slice from top to base, separating the pieces. Stir-fry onion, carrot and celery in the hot oil for 1 minute. Push to one side of the pan and stir-fry the beef until lightly cooked.

3. Add the mushrooms and bamboo shoots and cook briefly. Mix the remaining corn-flour into a half cup of water and pour into the pan. Bring to the boil, add oyster sauce, stir in and serve.
