Ingredients

Scale

Rice:

  • 2 cups (400 g) cooked white or brown rice

Beef:

  • 1 lb (450 g) beef (sirloin, flank steak, or ground beef)

Vegetables:

  • 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef or chicken broth

Garnish:

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: If using steak, slice it thinly against the grain. For ground beef, no prep is needed.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, red pepper flakes (if using), and broth. Set aside.
  3. Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned (about 3-4 minutes for steak slices, 5-6 minutes for ground beef). Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add garlic, ginger (if using), onions, and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Combine the beef and sauce: Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with the beef and pepper mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
