How to Make Stir-Fried Beef with Green Peppers

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

Ingredients: 300g beef sirloin (sliced thin against the grain), 2 green peppers (julienned), 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, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep vegetables: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry garlic and onion until fragrant (30 seconds). Add green peppers and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the beef: Add a little more oil to the wok. Stir-fry marinated beef in batches for 1-2 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Return vegetables to the wok.

4. Season and serve: Toss everything together for 30 seconds. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or chili flakes. Slice beef thinly for even cooking, and avoid overcooking peppers to keep them crisp. Enjoy this balanced mix of savory, tender, and crunchy textures!
