Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless beef sirloin or flank steak
• 60 ml soy sauce
• 20 grams cornstarch
• 30 ml vegetable oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium white onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 10 grams ginger
• 240 ml beef broth
• 30 ml oyster sauce
• 15 ml hoisin sauce
• 10 grams brown sugar
• 5 grams ground black pepper
• 5 ml sesame oil (optional)
• 500 grams cooked white rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 30 ml of soy sauce and 10 grams of cornstarch. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, cut the onion into wedges, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, 30 ml soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, 10 grams brown sugar, remaining cornstarch, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and sear for 2-3 minutes, until browned but not fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and stir-fry the bell peppers and onion for 3-4 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the beef strips to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Cook for 3-4 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through.

Step 10

Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, if using, for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked white rice, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
