📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Thinly slice the beef across the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.

2. Deseed the bell peppers and thinly slice them into strips. Slice the onion into similar-sized strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, and black pepper to create the sauce. Stir until smooth and set aside.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

5. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until aromatic.

6. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.

7. Return the beef to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.

8. Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss to combine, and remove from heat.

9. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and serve hot over cooked white rice.
