Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef (sirloin, flank, or ribeye)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for added aroma)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for balance)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch, then add the beef slices. Mix well and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in a single layer for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil, then sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add bell peppers and broccoli, stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Add honey or maple syrup, toss to combine, and cook for another 2 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef for quicker cooking and tender texture.
- Marinate beef while preparing vegetables to save time.
- Make all vegetables uniform in size for even cooking.
- Cook in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding and maintain high heat.
