​🥩 Ingredients

​Main Ingredients:

​500g flank steak or sirloin (sliced into bite-sized pieces)

​1 large red bell pepper (chopped into chunks)

​1 large green bell pepper (chopped into chunks)

​1 large onion (cut into wedges)

​2 cloves garlic (minced)

​1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)

​2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

​Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

​The Savory Glaze (Sauce):

​1/3 cup soy sauce

​2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

​1 tbsp oyster sauce

​1 tbsp cornstarch (dissolved in 2 tbsp cold water)

​1/2 cup beef broth or water

​1 tsp sesame oil

​👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

​Prepare the Beef:

​Slice the beef against the grain into tender, bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.

​Mix the Sauce:

​In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), oyster sauce, beef broth, sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry until smooth. Set aside.

​Sear the Beef:

​Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef pieces in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until nicely browned on both sides. Remove the beef and set it aside on a plate.

​Sauté the Vegetables:

​In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Toss in the sliced onions, red bell peppers, and green bell peppers. Stir-fry over high heat for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred at the edges. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

​Combine & Glaze:

​Return the seared beef back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce mixture directly over the top.

​Simmer & Thicken:

​Bring everything to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy, beautiful glaze that coats every piece of beef and vegetable.

​Garnish & Serve:

​Remove from heat, sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot in a sizzling skillet.

​Chef’s Note: Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for the ultimate restaurant-quality experience at home! Perfect for family dinners and special weekends.
