Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (preferably red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-frying

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tender bites. Prepare vegetables by washing and slicing onions and peppers into strips. Mince garlic and grate ginger for added flavor.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil if necessary. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add onions and peppers; stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  4. Return beef to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and black pepper. Stir to combine. Pour in cornstarch mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef to ensure quick cooking and tenderness.
  • Marinate the beef briefly in soy sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Adjust black pepper quantity to taste for spiciness.
