One tablespoon of cornstarch

One tablespoon of soy sauce

One tablespoon of vegetable oil

One red bell pepper, sliced

One green bell pepper, sliced

One onion, sliced

Two cloves of garlic, minced

One teaspoon of ginger, minced

One teaspoon of sesame seeds for garnish

For the Sauce

One-fourth cup of soy sauce

One-fourth cup of beef broth or water

One tablespoon of oyster sauce

One tablespoon of hoisin sauce

One teaspoon of brown sugar

One teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in one tablespoon of water

One-half teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions

Step One: Prepare the Steak

In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with one tablespoon of soy sauce and one tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least fifteen minutes to enhance tenderness.

Step Two: Make the Sauce

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch mixture, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step Three: Cook the Beef

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about three to four minutes, until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step Four: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, red and green bell peppers, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about two to three minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step Five: Combine Everything

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well. Let it cook for another two minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.

Step Six: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
