Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 4 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin or flank steak into thin strips against the grain for tenderness. Place the beef in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables: slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips, cut the onion into wedges, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Toss to coat the beef and vegetables evenly and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Optional: Drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor before serving.
Serve the pepper steak hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Enjoy your meal!
