Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add beef slices and toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in batches, searing 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
