Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 4 cups cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin or flank steak into thin strips against the grain for tenderness. Place the beef in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables: slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips, cut the onion into wedges, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Toss to coat the beef and vegetables evenly and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Optional: Drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor before serving.

Step 8

Serve the pepper steak hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Enjoy your meal!
