Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (divided)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 large green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups white rice (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix until smooth.
Place the sliced beef in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to create the sauce.
Return the cooked beef to the pan. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked white rice. Enjoy!
