Steak & Pepper Stir Fry


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
• 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for depth)
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce or honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp cornstarch (to thicken)
• ¼ cup beef broth or water
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
• Sesame seeds & green onions (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, toss sliced steak with 1 tbsp soy sauce and a pinch of cornstarch. Let sit 10–15 minutes.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Sauté onion and bell peppers 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Make the sauce: Whisk together remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, cornstarch, and broth.
  6. Pour sauce into the pan. Simmer 1–2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  7. Return steak to the pan. Toss gently to coat and heat through.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
