Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce for sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce for sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar for sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce for sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar for sauce
  • 1/4 cup water for sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok
  • Sharp chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Medium bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Place thinly sliced steak in a medium bowl, sprinkle with cornstarch and soy sauce, and toss to coat. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, and water until uniform. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp sesame oil. Sear marinated steak in a single layer for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from skillet.
  4. Add remaining sesame oil to the skillet, then add sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for another minute.
  5. Return seared steak to the skillet, pour the sauce over everything, and stir to coat. Let bubble for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Transfer the pepper steak to a serving platter, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Notes

For a tender steak, freeze it for 20-30 minutes before slicing. You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak, sirloin, or chicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet to avoid toughness.
