Description
Juicy, seared strips of beef stir-fried with crisp bell peppers and onions in a savory soy-based sauce—served over warm rice for a comforting, one-pan meal that’s easy to prep and endlessly satisfying.
Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 onion, thinly sliced
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Optional sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear beef in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Add garlic and onion to the same pan and sauté for 1 minute. Add bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
4. Return beef to the pan and stir everything together. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and thicken sauce slightly.
5. Serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
Marinate beef ahead of time for deeper flavor.
Use day-old rice for best texture and minimal stickiness.
To add heat, toss in chili flakes or sriracha while simmering.
