🥩 Pepper Steak with Bell Peppers & Onions

A quick and flavorful stir-fry dish made with tender beef slices, colorful bell peppers, and a savory garlic soy sauce. Perfect for a weeknight dinner!

📋 Ingredients:

• 500g (1 lb) beef steak (e.g. sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame oil, sliced green onions for garnish

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   • In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat evenly.
   • Let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes (up to 1 hour in the fridge for deeper flavor).
2. Sear the Beef:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
   • Add the beef (in batches if needed) and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Veggies:
   • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil.
   • Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add sliced onions and bell peppers.
   • Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
4. Combine & Finish:
   • Return the beef to the skillet.
   • Stir everything together and cook for 2 more minutes, until the beef is fully cooked and coated in the sauce.
   • Optional: Drizzle with a bit of sesame oil for extra flavor.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot over steamed white rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps.
   • Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
