Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (divided)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp water (optional, for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Slice beef thinly against the grain and toss with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear beef until just browned, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add remaining oil, onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté until slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Return beef to the pan and add oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, black pepper, and a splash of water if needed.
  5. Stir until the beef is coated in sauce and vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Serve hot over warm cooked rice.

Notes

  • Swap rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
  • Add broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms for more veggies.
  • For a spicy kick, stir in chili paste or red pepper flakes.
  • Use hoisin sauce instead of oyster sauce for a sweeter flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of soy sauce or water.
