Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon (5g) cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef slices to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- If desired, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions before serving.
