Prepare the beef<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated. Let it rest for about 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Sear the beef<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 1\u20132 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Cook the vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Saut\u00e9 garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, and stir-fry for 3\u20134 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Combine everything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and beef broth. Stir well and cook for 2\u20133 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Garnish and serve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Season with black pepper. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nutrition (per serving)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calories: 390 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protein: 32 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carbohydrates: 14 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fat: 22 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tender texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overcook the peppers to keep their bright color and slight crunch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a lower carb option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add chili flakes or chili oil for a spicy version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick and flavorful beef stir-fry made with tender slices of beef, colorful bell peppers, garlic, and a rich savory sauce.
