Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables

  1. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, and stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

4. Cook the Beef

  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
  2. Add the marinated beef slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through.

5. Combine and Simmer

  1. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the beef.
  2. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir to combine.
  3. Let simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
