Ingredients:

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
1 large onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Beef:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the marinated beef to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir well to combine all ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
- Serve the Beef Stir-Fry hot, over cooked rice if desired.

Tips:

Marinade Time: For more intense flavors, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for more variety.
