How to Make Perfect Stir-Fried Beef with Bell Peppers

Stir-fried beef with bell peppers is a quick, flavorful dish loved for its tender beef and crisp, vibrant vegetables. Here’s a simple guide to mastering it at home.

Ingredients: 300g beef sirloin (sliced thin against the grain), 2 bell peppers (sliced into strips), 1 onion (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep vegetables: Slice bell peppers and onions; set aside. Mince garlic.

3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.

4. Cook vegetables: In the same pan, stir-fry garlic, onions, and bell peppers for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

5. Combine: Return beef to the pan, add a splash of soy sauce if needed, and toss everything together for 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve hot over steamed rice for a satisfying meal. Enjoy the perfect balance of savory beef and fresh veggies!
