Preparation

Step 1: Marinate the Beef In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Toss the mixture to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for 15 minutes, which enhances the beef’s flavor and tenderness.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the beef is browned on all sides. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 4: Combine and Cook Return the browned beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir the ingredients well, coating the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5: Season and Serve Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.
