Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), seeded and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, oyster sauce, and sugar.
  6. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  7. Serve hot over cooked rice.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, or mushrooms.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
