Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes for extra tenderness.

2. Sear the Beef

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.

Add the marinated beef and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Veggies

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.

Stir-fry the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Make the Sauce

Pour in the beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and black pepper.

Stir and bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.

5. Combine & Serve

Return the beef to the pan, toss everything together, and drizzle with sesame oil.

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice!
