Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch to create a rich marinade. Add thinly sliced beef, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the beef marinates, prepare your vegetables. Slice an assortment of bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
  3. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once shimmering, sear the marinated beef in a single layer for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet once browned.
  4. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté sliced bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sauté for an additional minute. Return the beef and pour in beef broth or water, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
