Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ground black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, 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 wok. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the wok with the peppers. Toss everything together and stir fry for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
If using, sprinkle red chili flakes for an extra kick of spice.
Remove the wok from heat and garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
