  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 cup (240ml) water chestnuts, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions 📚

  1. Marinate the Beef:

    In a bowl, mix the beef slices with 1/4 cup (60ml) of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon (7.5ml) of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of cornstarch. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to marinate.

  2. Prepare the Vegetables:

    Slice the bell pepper, onion, and water chestnuts into thin strips. Set them aside.

  3. Cook the Beef:

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until it's just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

  4. Sauté the Vegetables:

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the sliced bell pepper, onion, and water chestnuts for about 3-4 minutes until they're tender but still crisp.

  5. Add Aromatics:

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

  6. Combine Beef and Vegetables:

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes to combine all the flavors.

  7. Add Sauce:

    In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon (7.5ml) of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) of water. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.

  8. Season and Serve:

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy beef stir-fry! 🍲
