Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.
In another bowl, coat the beef slices with the cornstarch evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
