Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin or flank steak
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 100 grams unsalted cashews
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water or beef stock
• 4 cups cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin or flank steak against the grain and place it in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil to the beef. Mix well to coat, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water or beef stock. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 6

In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Add the cashews and ground black pepper. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over cooked white rice if desired.
