  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced into strips
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for beef marinade)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice beef thinly against the grain and marinate with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for 30 seconds.
  4. Return beef to pan. Add oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes until beef is fully cooked and coated in sauce. Garnish with cilantro or green onions.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use high heat for stir-frying to lock in juices and prevent soggy vegetables.
  • Customize with additional veggies like mushrooms, snap peas, or broccoli.
  • Add a splash of beef broth if the stir-fry seems dry.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water.
