Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 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 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup water or beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
- Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Add water or beef broth and stir everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot over steamed white rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Use a very hot pan for a proper stir fry texture.
- Swap in broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for variety.
