Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch to create a marinade. Add the thinly sliced beef, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer, searing for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil if needed, then toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the seared beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in ½ cup of beef broth or water, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the dish hot over steamed rice or noodles.
