Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, combine the beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the beef and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Stir-Fry
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Return the beef to the wok. Add sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Garnish the stir-fry with chopped green onions before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve the beef stir-fry hot alongside rice or noodles. A side of steamed vegetables complements this dish well.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on medium heat in a pan until warmed through.
Tips for Success
- Beef Slicing: Cut the beef into thin slices to ensure it remains tender.
- Marinating: Do not skip the marinating step; it helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- High Heat: Cooking on high heat ensures that the beef gets a good sear and stays tender.
Health Benefits
- Protein: Beef is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Beef provides important nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
- Vegetables: The addition of bell peppers and onions increases the fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in this dish.
