Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 red bell pepper, julienned

1 green bell pepper, julienned

1 large onion, sliced thinly

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Toss to coat well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prep the Vegetables: While the steak is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers and onions, and mince the garlic and ginger. Set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.

        Cook the Steak: Add the marinated flank steak in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned, turning occasionally. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.

          Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

            Combine and Flavor: Return the cooked steak to the pan with the vegetables. Add the sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir-fry everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the steak is heated through and well combined with the veggies.

              Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the sizzling pepper steak over cooked rice or noodles, allowing everyone to enjoy the colorful and flavorful stir-fry.
