Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 small broccoli head, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the steak: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak in batches, cooking each batch for about 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Combine and finish: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the hoisin sauce and sesame oil, stirring everything together until well-coated and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Serve the stir-fried steak and veggies over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
