Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 inch ginger (finely sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine (if using), sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.

Step 2

Place the thinly sliced beef in another bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss until all the pieces are lightly coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef slices in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the ginger slices and minced garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Step 5

Add the sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the skillet, then pour in the oyster sauce mixture. Toss everything together until the beef and vegetables are well coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir well.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately with hot steamed rice or noodles.
