  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef sirloin or flank steak
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the beef into strips and toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Keep aside for quick stir-frying.
  3. Mix remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl to make the sauce.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add remaining vegetable oil, toss in vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender but crisp.
  6. Return beef to the skillet. Pour sauce over the mixture and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and tender results.
  • Prepare vegetables ahead of time for a smoother stir-fry process.
  • Adjust sauce to taste—add more soy or oyster sauce for extra flavor.
  • Ensure your skillet or wok is hot enough to stir-fry quickly without steaming ingredients.
