Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or flank steak thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 2 bell peppers red and yellow, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the beef: In a small bowl, combine sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cornstarch, and white pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
  3. Prep vegetables: Slice bell peppers and onion into strips, mince garlic and ginger, chop green onions, and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Pat vegetables dry to prevent excess moisture.
  4. Heat the wok or large skillet: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes.
  5. Cook the beef: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the marinated beef to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Cook aromatic vegetables: Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Cook firm vegetables first: Add bell peppers, onion, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp-tender.
  8. Add remaining vegetables: Stir in snap peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  9. Combine and finish: Return the beef to the wok, pour in the prepared sauce, and add red pepper flakes if desired. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats all ingredients and everything is heated through.
  10. Garnish and serve: Divide among serving bowls, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
