Ingredients:

- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

- 1 bell pepper, sliced

- 1 onion, sliced

- 2 cups broccoli florets

- 2 carrots, julienned

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp ginger, minced

- 3 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce

- 1 tbsp cornstarch

- 1/2 cup beef broth

- 1 tsp sesame oil

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:

Prep the Beef: Season the beef slices with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce with the cornstarch and toss the beef in the mixture. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the pan. In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and beef broth. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Finish and Serve: Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it a final toss. Serve hot over cooked rice.
