Quick & Easy Chinese-style Tender Beef

Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the beef slices, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok.
In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell pepper and onion to the wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Return the beef to the wok. Add sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together well and cook for an additional 2 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Serving: Serve hot with rice or noodles. A side of steamed vegetables complements this dish well.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.

Beef Slicing: Ensure the beef is sliced thinly for a tender texture.
Marinating: Don’t skip marinating; it helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
High Heat: Cooking on high heat sears the beef, keeping it tender and juicy.

Protein: Beef provides high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and growth.
Vitamins and Minerals: Beef is rich in nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
Vegetables: Including bell peppers and onions boosts the dish’s fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
