Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

In the same wok, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes, or until they start to soften.

Step 6

Return the beef to the wok, add the tablespoon of water, and season with black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is fully cooked and well-coated with sauce.

Step 7

Add the scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil, giving the dish a final mix for about 30 seconds.

Step 8

Remove the stir-fried beef from heat and serve immediately, ideally over steamed rice or with noodles.
