Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Sliced green onions, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prep the Vegetables: While the beef is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into strips, and mince the garlic. Set all the prepared vegetables aside for easy access when cooking.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat. The oil should shimmer to indicate it's hot enough for cooking.

        Cook the Beef: Carefully add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this helps achieve a good sear. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes until browned, then flip the pieces to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

          Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the sliced onion and minced garlic, stirring for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant and slightly softened. Next, add the sliced bell peppers to the mix. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, ensuring they remain tender yet crisp.

            Combine and Finish: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss everything together to combine, allowing the flavors to meld. Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

              Serve: Plate the sizzling stir-fry over a generous serving of cooked rice or noodles. For an appealing finish, garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
