Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 large bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large onion, sliced into thin wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 23 tbsp vegetable oil, divided

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

For Garnish:

  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak:
    • Combine the thinly sliced steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • Whisk together soy sauce, beef broth (or water), oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  • Cook the Steak:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak slices in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Stir-fry the sliced bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Combine and Cook:
    • Return the seared steak to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the steak and vegetables, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
