1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Cooked rice, for serving

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the steak and toss to coat.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  3. Add the steak to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned.
  4. Return the bell peppers and onion to the wok. Add the garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  5. Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve immediately over rice.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and add to the skillet during the last minute of cooking.
  • Serve over rice or noodles.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
