Three steps to success...

One of those puzzles, where :

(1) Have to get an idea from apparently redundant pieces
(2) Perform a short calculation
(3) Trust yourself and Just do it

avoiding stalemate

was my first thought. Knight and pawn moves let the king go too far. Then, I saw I could sac the Bishop and give black several moves. Then I looked at queening the h-pawn but black gets in the check with his pawn. So that left the only other idea that turned out to be the solution.
