Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 quarter cup water
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the beef flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Add beef slices and mix until well coated. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, seed and thinly slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger. Thinly slice the green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then pour in the reserved sauce mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
