Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir-fry bell peppers for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the steak to the pan. Add oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and beef broth. Stir everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Drizzle with sesame oil if using, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Slice steak thinly and against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use a mix of colorful bell peppers for visual appeal and flavor variety.
  • Can substitute beef with chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
