Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry
Instructions:
- Marinate the beef:
- In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch mixture, and sugar (if using). Set aside.
- Cook the beef:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
- Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add onions and cook for an additional minute.
- Combine and finish:
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together, letting the sauce thicken (about 1-2 minutes).
- Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
