Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add the sliced beef to the mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of oil if necessary, and toss in bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the seared beef to the skillet and pour in the beef broth or water. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot over rice or alongside noodles.

Notes

Slice the beef against the grain for tenderness. Marinating for longer enhances flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing the beef, and sauté vegetables just until tender-crisp for the best texture.
