Print Recipe

This quick weeknight dinner brings juicy steak, tender-crisp veggies, and bold Asian-inspired sauce straight to your plate—better than takeout and done fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional for depth)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds or green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toss steak with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper—this creates tender bites with big flavor.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet or wok until hot. Sear beef in batches until browned.
  3. Add onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until just tender-crisp.
  4. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour into pan, toss everything together.
  5. Simmer until sauce thickens (1–2 mins). Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions—serve hot over rice.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or chili oil.
  • Use a very hot pan for best sear on the steak.
  • Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
