# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Mix the thin beef slices with cornstarch and soy sauce in a bowl until fully coated. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
02 -
Mix water, sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Put aside for later.
03 -
Warm up 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the beef in one layer. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes until it turns brown. You might need to cook in batches. Move the cooked beef to a plate.
04 -
Using the same skillet, add the rest of the sesame oil. Throw in ginger, garlic, bell peppers, and onion. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until they're soft.
05 -
Put the beef back into the skillet with the veggies. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until it's all warm. If you want, sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Want it spicy? Just add some chili oil, red chili slices, or red pepper flakes to your stir-fry.
02 -
Try putting the meat in the freezer for 15–20 minutes before cutting - it'll be way easier to slice.
03 -
You can keep any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days. When reheating, toss it in a pan with a bit of water or soy sauce.
04 -
Don't eat beef? No problem - this works great with tofu, shrimp, or chicken breast too.
