Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. 1 large onion, sliced
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  6. 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  7. ¼ cup soy sauce
  8. 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  9. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  10. 1 tablespoon sugar
  11. Salt and pepper to taste
  12. 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  13. Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate Beef:

    • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Add sliced beef and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. Cook Beef:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.

  3. Sauté Vegetables:

    • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger for about 2 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent. Add bell pepper if desired.

  4. Combine Beef and Vegetables:

    • Return beef to the skillet and stir to combine with vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. Season and Serve:

    • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve over cooked rice.

  6. Enjoy:

    • Dig in and savor this delicious Chinese-inspired stir-fry!

Notes

  • For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or a splash of chili oil during cooking.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce and tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak for similar results.
