Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to ensure each slice is evenly coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables. This step helps to tenderize the meat and infuse flavor.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse and slice all vegetables (red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, and carrot) into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Set the prepared vegetables aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or a high-sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil is shimmering, indicating it's hot enough for cooking.

        Cook the Beef: Carefully add the marinated beef to the hot pan in a single layer. Allow it to sear without stirring for about 2 minutes to develop a nice crust. Then stir and cook for an additional minute until the beef is browned and reaches your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan and set aside on a plate.

          Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Introduce the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until they release their fragrant aromas. Next, add the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

            Combine Everything: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the oyster sauce and drizzle with sesame oil. Gently toss everything together to ensure even coating, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to heat thoroughly and meld the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Serve the sizzling beef and vegetable stir-fry immediately over a bed of warm cooked rice or noodles. For an extra flavor twist and visual appeal, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a scattering of chopped green onions.
