Marinated beef strips mixed with onions and vibrant bell peppers, all coated in a soy-based sauce for easy comfort food.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup water or beef broth.
02 -
1 teaspoon cornstarch.
03 -
1 tablespoon oyster sauce.
04 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce.
05 -
1 green bell pepper, sliced.
06 -
1 red bell pepper, sliced.
07 -
1 teaspoon grated ginger.
08 -
1 onion, sliced.
09 -
2 cloves minced garlic.
10 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
11 -
1 pound thinly sliced beef steak (flank, ribeye, or sirloin).
# Steps:
01 -
Combine the cornstarch, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Toss the beef in this mix and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
02 -
Heat up the oil in a hot pan. Brown the beef for about 1-2 minutes per side and take it out.
03 -
Stir-fry the onion and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic toward the end.
04 -
Put the beef back in. Pour in the broth and cook it for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens up.
# Notes:
01 -
Cut the beef opposite the direction of the fibers for a softer texture.
02 -
Don’t overcook the veggies—they should stay just crisp.
03 -
Tastes best right after cooking.
