Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 pound Beef Strips Choose tender cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye for the best texture.
For the Veggies
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers Feel free to mix colors for a vibrant dish.
  • 1 medium Onion Shallots offer a milder twist if you prefer.
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce For gluten-free option, substitute with tamari.
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce If absent, substitute more soy sauce with a splash of hoisin or Worcestershire.
For the Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Essential for keeping your beef tender.
For the Aromatics
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh is best; garlic powder works in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Feel free to use ground ginger if you're in a hurry.
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut Oil Ideal for stir-frying due to its high smoke point.

Equipment

  • Wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the beef strips in a mixture of soy sauce and cornstarch, letting them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of peanut oil in your preheated wok over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add sliced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn translucent and lightly brown.
  4. Next, add the marinated beef strips to the wok and sear them for 3-5 minutes until they turn brown and are cooked through.
  5. In the same wok, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring well and cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return the seared beef to the wok and add bell peppers. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the peppers remain crisp-tender.
