Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 bell pepper (your choice of red, yellow, or green), sliced into strips

1 medium onion, sliced into thin wedges

2 cups broccoli florets, blanched

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cups cooked jasmine rice, kept warm

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Use your hands or a spoon to mix well, ensuring all the beef slices are evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for 10-15 minutes while you prep the veggies.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the bell pepper into strips and cut the onion into thin wedges. Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to maintain their vibrant color and crunch. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, keeping them ready for use.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Allow the beef to sear for about 2 minutes without stirring until it develops a golden-brown crust. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through. When done, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil if necessary. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and blanched broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still retain their crunch.

          Add Aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger with the vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing it with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together for 1-2 minutes, letting the flavors combine. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.

              Serve: To assemble the bowls, place an even portion of warm cooked jasmine rice in each serving bowl. Generously top the rice with the sizzling beef and vegetable stir-fry. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and a dash of sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy this vibrant dish!
