Main Dish • Beef, Sauce, Vegetables
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, any color, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
- Serve the pepper steak over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions
