Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 2 large Green bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cups Rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. Place the beef in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, wash and core the green bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips approximately the same size as the beef.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, sugar, black pepper, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef, spreading it out into a single layer to sear. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping them crisp and vibrant.
Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and peppers evenly.
Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or alongside noodles. Enjoy!
