- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (optional but recommended)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

For Serving:
- 2 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. This ensures it stays tender when cooked.
If you want extra softness:
- Toss the beef with cornstarch and a splash of soy sauce
- Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes
This step helps lock in moisture and gives the beef a silky texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
While the beef marinates:
- Slice the bell peppers into thin strips
- Slice the onion
- Mince the garlic and grate the ginger
Keep everything ready because the cooking process moves quickly.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix:
- Soy sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Sugar or honey
- Black pepper
Stir well and set aside. This sauce will bring everything together later.
