Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
In a medium bowl, combine the beef strips with cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat evenly and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir-fry each batch for 2-3 minutes until they are browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender and cooked through.
Return the beef strips to the skillet. Add gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 50 ml of water. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are well-coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of ground black pepper over the dish and stir to combine.
Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Garnish the dish with sliced spring onions before serving.
Serve hot with a side of steamed rice or gluten-free noodles.
