Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional for added flavor)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
- Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the beef broth with the black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated steak to the skillet in a single layer, cooking until browned on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced green bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine and Finish:
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the prepared beef broth mixture over the steak and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve:
- Serve the green pepper steak hot over cooked white rice.
