Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, for extra flavor)
- Salt, to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let sit 10–15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Sauté onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return beef to the skillet. Add beef broth and black pepper; stir to combine. Cook 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and beef is cooked through. Adjust salt if needed.
- Serve hot over cooked rice for a classic Chinese-style meal.
Notes
- Marinating the beef slightly helps tenderize it and enhances flavor.
- Use a high heat to quickly sear the beef for best texture.
- Add more vegetables like snow peas or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
