Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, marinate the beef strips with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef strips. Stir-fry until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, onion, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot over fluffy white rice and enjoy your flavorful Classic Beef Stir-Fry.
Helpful Tips
For an extra kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes or fresh chili slices while stir-frying. To make the recipe more versatile, swap out snow peas with broccoli or zucchini, and use chicken or tofu instead of beef for different dietary preferences.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.
