Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Red chilli, thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 50 ml Water
- 2 Spring onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and marinate with 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are seared and the beef is nearly cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced red chillies, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and green bell peppers to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the beef to the wok and mix everything together.
In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, and 50 ml of water. Pour this sauce mixture into the wok and toss to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly and evenly coats the ingredients.
Sprinkle in the chopped spring onions and stir into the dish.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving plate and, if desired, garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
