A quick and flavorful recipe for Beef with Oyster Sauce, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Add the oyster sauce, sugar, black pepper, and water. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve hot over cooked rice.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes while stir-frying the vegetables.
- Substitute the flank steak with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
