  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for marinating)
• Stir Fry Vegetables:
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or sliced into thin matchsticks
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• Sauce:
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
• For Cooking:
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
  • Cooked rice (to serve)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
   • In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Toss to coat evenly, and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
   • Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the Beef:
   • In the same pan, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through and browned.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • Add the cooked vegetables back into the pan with the beef. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
   • Serve the stir fry over a bed of rice.
