Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 pound Beef strips Tender cuts that soak up flavors beautifully
  • 2 cups Bell peppers Bright and crunchy; mix colors for a vibrant presentation
  • 1 medium Onion Sweet and aromatic; yellow or sweet onions work best
  • 3 cloves Garlic Adds robust flavor; fresh garlic is ideal
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Offers a warm, zesty kick; fresh ginger amplifies flavor
For the Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Essential for tenderizing the beef and creating a glossy sauce
For Cooking

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the beef strips in soy sauce and a sprinkle of cornstarch for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir-fry the sliced onions for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Add the marinated beef strips to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to create the savory sauce. Pour over beef and onions.
  5. Final toss everything to incorporate the sauce, then serve immediately over fluffy rice or noodles.

Notes

Ensure your wok is hot before adding the ingredients for the best sear. Letting beef marinate enhances tenderness. Get creative with adding seasonal vegetables.
