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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to combine everything. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  6. 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.
