Beef Stir Fry

🔥 Prep

• Slice the 300 g beef into thin strips (about 5 mm thick) and place in a bowl.
• Add 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp of the soy sauce to the beef, toss to coat evenly, and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Peel and thinly slice the 1 onion.
• Core and cut 1 cup bell pepper into bite‑sized strips or squares.
• Measure out 2 tbsp oil and keep nearby.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of the oil, swirling to coat the surface.
• 2. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without moving, then stir‑fry for another 2 minutes until browned but still pink inside.
• 3. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside, leaving any rendered juices in the pan.
• 4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the same pan over medium heat, then add the sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
• 5. Add the bell pepper strips and stir‑fry for 3 minutes until crisp‑tender.
• 6. Return the beef (with any juices) to the pan, pour in the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, and toss to combine.
• 7. Continue to stir‑fry for 1–2 minutes over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through and the sauce lightly coats everything.
• 8. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.

🔥 Serve

• Transfer the beef stir fry to a serving platter or shallow bowl.
• Garnish with optional sliced green onions or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
• Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice, fried rice, or noodles.
• Pair with a simple cucumber salad or pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
