  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Ingredients for the Stir-Fry

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. Cook the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, stir-fry onions and bell peppers until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant.
  5. Combine and Thicken: Return the steak to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and add the cornstarch slurry. Simmer until thickened.
  6. Serve: Serve the sizzling Chinese pepper steak over rice and enjoy!
