Ingredients:

• 500g beef steak, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until just browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli to the pan, stir-frying for about 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
5. Return the beef to the pan with the vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to combine all the ingredients well.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
7. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
