Trim the beef sirloin of any excess fat and slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper. Add the beef slices to the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, julienne the red and green bell peppers and thinly slice the onion.
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion slices and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the bell peppers and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet, add the water and low-carb sweetener, and stir everything together until well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy this flavorful low carb beef black pepper dish as a standalone meal or alongside your favorite low-carb side.
