Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the beef. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: mince the garlic and ginger, slice the onion, and cut the green and red bell peppers into thin strips.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Return the beef to the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pour in 50 milliliters of water and toss everything well. Allow the sauce to coat the beef and vegetables evenly and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
