For the Stir-Fry:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil – Ideal for high-heat cooking, ensuring a quick sear.
1 large onion, sliced into thin wedges – Adds sweetness and crunch.
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips – Provides vibrant color and natural sweetness.
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips – Complements the red pepper with a slightly bitter edge.
2 green onions, sliced diagonally – Perfect for garnish and an extra burst of flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions – Bringing It All Together
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
1. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil until evenly coated.
2. Let it marinate for 15–20 minutes while you prep the vegetables and stir-fry sauce.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch-water mixture.
2. Set aside—the sauce will thicken quickly when heated, so have it ready to go.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Steak
1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the marinated steak in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Vegetables
1. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Toss in the onions and bell peppers and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Step 5: Combine and Sauce It Up
1. Return the cooked steak to the pan with the vegetables.
2. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well, coating everything evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the ingredients.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
1. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
2. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice, fried rice, or stir-fried noodles.
