Quick and Easy Beef Pepper Stir Fry

Quick and Easy Beef Pepper Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) beef steak, thinly sliced (such as flank steak or sirloin)
• 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into thin strips
• 1 onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooked rice or noodles for serving
• Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Vegetables:

Slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips. Set aside.

3. Stir Fry:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer, allowing it to sear without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

4. Cook the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still have a slight crunch.

5. Combine:

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine everything evenly.

6. Season:

Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

7. Serve:

Serve the beef pepper stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
