Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Flank steak or sirloin steak
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small Yellow onion, sliced
• 0.25 cup Beef or chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 servings Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank or sirloin steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Let marinate while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet, along with the prepared sauce and the beef or chicken stock. Toss everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Drizzle with sesame oil for added aroma and flavor. Serve hot over cooked white rice, if desired.
