Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Serving
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain some crispness. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Combine and Heat: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Serve: Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful beef and pepper rice bowl.
