Directions

First, cut your beef into thin slices.
Marinate it with 1 tbsp of light soy sauce and 1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine, you can use regular rice wine too. Some freshly ground pepper, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1.5 tsp of corn starch
Set your beef aside for at least 30 minutes. While waiting we can make the sauce.
1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 1/4 cup of water, 1 tsp of corn starch, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of freshly ground black pepper and some salt to taste. Because soy sauce already has a lot of sodium, don’t put a lot. Just a little pinch should be fine.
For the vegetables, I prepared some green and red pepper cut into big chunks. Some onion and 1 tbsp of minced garlic.
Heat up your wok on the highest level possible for 10 seconds and add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add in your beef. Let the beef fry for 15-20 seconds on each side. Keep turning IT every 15 seconds until the beef becomes brown. Take it out and set it aside.
Add about 1 tbsp more oil into the same wok and throw in all your vegetables. Stir fry this for about 2 minutes.
When you see the onion becoming transparent turn the heat to low. Add the beef back into the wok along with the sauce. Mix it quickly. Soon you will see the sauce getting thicker. Turn it off. Take it out and you are done.

Made tonight for the first time and it is going on my regular menu, my husband loved it!!

You are an excellent instructor. You really enjoy cooking and it shows. You explain so well the recipe speaks for itself. Thank you so much.

I’ve tried this recipe just recently. It’s simply delicious and the people I cooked it for loved it as well. I’ll definitely cook it again soon.

I love this recipe! I wish some of the ingredient amounts would be listed more exactly (amount of peppers and onions) but it’s ok. I made triple (3x) the beef and used a cheap boneless “strip” from a discount grocery. 1.5 pounds beef and I tripled the sauce and marinade ingredients and just cut a lot of pepper and onion to taste. I only have a cheap “cooking sherry” that I used because there is a recipe for a stir-fry on the bottle that tastes wonderful for Asian-style dishes. This worked for me.

I love making stir-fries and love trying dishes at home that are “better than take-out” and this was fantastic! You can really use any kind of beef, just slice it very thin in small pieces and follow the directions for the marinade. This is one of my favorite dishes now. I’m very happy I found this recipe.

Absolutely delicious!
