Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce mixture)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Garlic and ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the beef by combining it with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water/broth to make the sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer; cook until browned on both sides (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from the skillet.
- Stir-fry bell peppers and onions in the same skillet until tender-crisp (about 3–4 minutes). Add garlic and ginger; cook for another 30 seconds.
- Return beef to the skillet and add prepared sauce; stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
