Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat.
  • Add the sliced steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • Return the steak to the skillet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour the sauce over the steak and vegetables.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coated the steak and vegetables.
  • Season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed broccoli or other vegetables for added nutrition.
