Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 cup broccoli florets, bite-sized

1 cup sugar snap peas, ends trimmed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let the beef marinate while you prepare the vegetables, about 10 minutes.

    Prepare the Veggies: Rinse and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets, and rinse the sugar snap peas to remove any dirt. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions, keeping the white parts separate from the green parts.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Allow it to sear untouched for about 2 minutes, then stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

        Cook the Veggies: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for approximately 3-4 minutes, cooking until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

          Combine & Finish: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Add the chopped white parts of the green onions and stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are heated through and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Serve: Spoon the stir-fry over bowls of hot cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal, if desired.
