Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 2 medium green bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add the sliced beef and coat well. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, seed and slice the green bell peppers into thin strips.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef strips to the pan and mix with the green peppers.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and water. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and peppers.
Stir everything together to coat the beef and peppers in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
