🧂 Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- ¼ cup beef broth (or water)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional for tang)
- 1 tsp sesame oil

🍳 Instructions
- Marinate the Beef:
In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry until browned (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Veggies:
Add another 1 tbsp oil to the same pan. Add garlic, ginger, onions, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour into the pan.
- Combine & Finish:
Return beef to the pan, toss everything together, and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve:
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
🍽 Tips & Variations
- Add mushrooms or snow peas for extra crunch.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
- For a spicier version, add crushed red chili flakes or sliced chili peppers.
