Ingredients
  

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

2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas), chopped into bite-sized pieces

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

1 teaspoon sesame oil (for finishing)

3 garlic cloves, minced finely

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated or minced

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, mix together the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Ensure all the beef slices are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Prepare the Veggies: Wash and chop all the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces that will cook evenly. Set these aside in a bowl for easy access later.

      Heat the Wok: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to let them burn.

        Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring it cooks evenly. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, flipping occasionally until the beef is well-browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

          Add the Vegetables: Once the beef is cooked, toss in the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

            Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry. Toss everything together thoroughly, allowing the flavors to combine. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Frame the stir-fry with a sprinkle of sliced green onions on top for a fresh touch. Serve immediately over a bed of steaming cooked rice or noodles.
