How to Craft Oak Stairs in Minecraft

Oak Stairs in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Building staircases.

The recipe wants 6 Oak Planks, and a Crafting Table to run it on. Read it row by row: Oak Planks in the left column, then two Oak Planks in the left and middle columns, then three Oak Planks. Done once, that is 4 Oak Stairs. Fuel value is 300 ticks, putting 43 Oak Stairs behind a full stack of 64.

Oak Stairs Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Oak Stairs is minecraft:oak_stairs. In commands the namespace may be left off, so oak_stairs works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.
