Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked white or jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice:
    • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
    • Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker until tender and fluffy. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir well and 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 slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed.
    • Stir-fry the onions, bell peppers, and garlic for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Combine Everything:
    • Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
    • Pour in the prepared sauce and stir until everything is well-coated and the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  6. Assemble the Bowl:
    • Divide the cooked rice into bowls.
    • Top with the beef and pepper mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or snap peas for extra nutrition.
  • Substitute chicken or tofu for beef if preferred.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
