Total Time:30 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, chopped
1 tbsp sesame oil (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches, ensuring a nice sear, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crisp.
Return the beef to the pan, toss with the veggies, and stir in sesame oil if desired. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
You can use any vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini, snap peas, or mushrooms.
For added spice, toss in some red pepper flakes or fresh chilies.
