Begin by slicing the chicken breast or beef sirloin against the grain into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a marinade.
Add the meat strips to the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
While the meat is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrot, and thinly slice the red bell pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated meat, stirring continuously until the meat is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
