Ingredients

For the meat marinade

  • 2 lbs ribeye thinly sliced
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tbs oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbs sesame oil

For the veggies

  • 1 onion chopped into small squares
  • 1 green bell pepper seeds removed and chopped into small squares
  • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed and chopped into small squares
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 tbs oil plus more as needed

For the slurry

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the meat and all marinade ingredients. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 25 minutes while you prep the veggies.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until translucent. Remove and set aside.

  3. Add the bell peppers to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until just slightly softened. Transfer to the plate with the onion.

  4. Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  5. Pour in the slurry and stir to combine. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens into a glossy sauce.

  6. Return the onion and peppers to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.

  7. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice and enjoy!
