Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 cups rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the steak and toss to coat evenly. Let the beef marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef marinates, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the beef broth, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir to mix and set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and sear for 2–3 minutes, until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to combine.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Serve the pepper steak hot over steamed rice, if desired.
