Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the steak:
- Toss the sliced steak with cornstarch and salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to tenderize.
- Make the sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, water, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the steak:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the bell peppers, onion, and garlic for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Combine and cook:
- Return the steak to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the steak and vegetables.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
