Ingredients
  

For the Beef Marinade
  • 1 pound Flank Steak Slice thinly against the grain for tenderness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain. In a bowl, combine with soy sauce and cornstarch, mixing well. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil, then toss in the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the oyster sauce and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer the Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions to a serving platter. Serve with jasmine rice or noodles.

Notes

For bolder flavors, marinate beef for 30 minutes instead of 10. Use high heat for a caramelized sear. Always use fresh vegetables for best results. Avoid crowding the pan to ensure proper searing.
