Ingredients

450g (1 lb) thin sirloin steak, sliced against the grain

2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

¼ tsp salt

4 tbsp sunflower oil

1 tsp sesame oil

2 medium-sized onions, peeled and sliced

1 green bell pepper, deseeded and sliced

1 red bell pepper, deseeded and sliced

2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)

120 ml (½ cup) beef stock

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp minced ginger

Instructions

  1. Toss the steak strips with 1 tsp of black pepper and salt.

  2. Heat 3 tbsp of sunflower oil and sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then transfer to a bowl.

  3. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of sunflower oil and stir-fry the onions, peppers, garlic, and ginger for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and beef stock to create the sauce. Pour it into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring to thicken.

  5. Add the cooked steak back into the pan and stir to coat the steak in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  6. Serve over boiled rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Use tofu or seitan in place of beef.

  • Spice it up by adding sliced chilies for extra heat.

  • Substitute rice wine with dry sherry or white wine.

  • You can replace bell peppers with other vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms.
