Instructions

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
Sear the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the pan and pour the sauce over. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is cooked through.
Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over rice.

Notes

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
You can substitute snow peas or mushrooms for variety.
