Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper for 15–20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and beef broth to make the sauce.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the beef until browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Add bell peppers and stir-fry until slightly tender but still crisp.
  6. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce.
  7. Stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
  8. Serve hot over steamed white rice.

Notes

  • Use flank or sirloin steak sliced thinly against the grain for best tenderness.
  • Add mushrooms or snow peas for more variety.
  • Stir in chili flakes or fresh chilies for extra heat.
  • Finish with sesame oil for added aroma and flavor.
  • Use gluten-free soy and hoisin sauce for a gluten-free version.
