Ingredients:

1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinade)
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
For the Sauce:
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ cup water
Optional Garnish:
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with cornstarch and soy sauce. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
