Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Return the beef to the wok, add the tablespoon of water, and season with black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is fully cooked and well-coated with sauce.
Add the scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil, giving the dish a final mix for about 30 seconds.
Remove the stir-fried beef from heat and serve immediately, ideally over steamed rice or with noodles.
