Ingredients:


For the Steak Marinade:


1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Stir-Fry:


2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

1/2 cup beef broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (cornstarch slurry)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Cooked white rice or steamed rice, for serving

Instructions:


Marinate the Steak:


In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce:


In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.

Cook the Steak:


Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:


In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine and Thicken:


Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.

Pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the steak and vegetables.

Serve:


Serve the sizzling Chinese pepper steak with onions over cooked white rice or steamed rice.
