Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 4 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, mince the garlic, thinly slice the onion, and chop the red and green bell peppers into bite-sized strips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sugar, 3 tablespoons of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to create the sauce.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red and green bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together, allowing the sauce to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the pan and stir well to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the pan from heat and serve the Pepper Beef hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
