Print Recipe

Tender beef strips stir-fried with crisp bell peppers and sweet onions in a savory, slightly spicy sauce, perfect served over steamed rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (green and red), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Optional garnish: 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, cornstarch, beef broth, and sugar to create the sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  3. Add the sliced flank steak and stir-fry until browned but not fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger chunks for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.
  6. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce.
  7. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
  9. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For best results, slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Adjust the amount of black pepper to your preferred spice level. Using fresh ginger and garlic chunks adds a robust flavor to the dish.
