Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil, divided
  • 2 bell peppers (red, green, or mixed), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  3. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, just until browned. Remove and set aside.

  10. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
