📝 Ingredients

For the Beef:

400 g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

For the Sauce:

1/2 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon sesame oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Allow the beef to marinate for 10–15 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.

2. Prepare the Sauce

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but not overcooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Cook the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers, and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender while maintaining a crisp texture.

5. Combine and Finish

Return the cooked beef to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the beef and vegetables.

6. Serve

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
