Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch, mixing well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- 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 cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced vegetables (red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot) to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to combine everything. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the stir fry and toss everything together. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
