Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 inch ginger (finely sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine (if using), sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
Place the thinly sliced beef in another bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss until all the pieces are lightly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef slices in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the ginger slices and minced garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add the sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, then pour in the oyster sauce mixture. Toss everything together until the beef and vegetables are well coated in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir well.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with hot steamed rice or noodles.
