Ingredients

• 500g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp chili paste (adjust to taste)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
• Fresh sprigs of cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large wok or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they become translucent.
4. Add the bell peppers to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure the beef and peppers are evenly coated. Adjust chili paste to your preferred spice level.
6. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
7. Season with ground black pepper, and give a final stir.
8. Transfer your spicy beef and bell peppers to a rustic serving bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs for a touch of greenery.

Helpful Tips

If you’re new to stir-frying, remember to keep all your ingredients prepped and ready to go, as this method of cooking is fast. For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili paste or substitute it with a mild chili sauce.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet until heated through.

Pairings

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or fluffy quinoa. A light, crisp green salad or a bowl of miso soup can be delightful accompaniments. For beverages, consider serving with a cool, refreshing iced tea or a zesty ginger ale.
