Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ground black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 4

In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red and green bell peppers to the wok. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the wok with the peppers. Toss everything together and stir fry for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 7

If using, sprinkle red chili flakes for an extra kick of spice.

Step 8

Remove the wok from heat and garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
