Ingredients
→ Protein
225 g stir-fry beef, sliced thinly against the grain
→ Sauce and Seasonings
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
→ Aromatics
2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Vegetables
1/2 bell pepper, cut into 1.25 cm squares
1/2 onion, cut into 1.25 cm squares
→ Other
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, brown sugar, crushed black peppercorns, and minced garlic. Add sliced beef and toss to coat.
Sprinkle in cornstarch and mix until beef is evenly coated in the marinade. Let rest briefly while preparing vegetables.
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry for about 1 minute per side until browned.
Add bell pepper and onion to the pan, stirring in any remaining marinade. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot, optionally with steamed rice.
Notes
Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Avoid overcooking to keep beef juicy and vegetables crisp.
For extra flavor, add a splash of dark soy sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.
Substitute chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
