Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, tossing everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Serve the beef and pepper mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- You can swap out the beef for chicken, tofu, or shrimp if preferred.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha sauce.
- Brown rice or cauliflower rice can be used as a healthier alternative to white rice.
- If you like a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir it into the sauce mixture before adding it to the pan.
