  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, sliced thin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup water or beef broth
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. Marinate with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), water or broth, and seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender but crispy.
  5. Return beef to the pan. Pour sauce over everything. Toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms.
  • Adjust sauce ingredients to taste for sweeter or spicier flavor.
