Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound top sirloin steak
- 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) sherry cooking wine
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice
Serving Ingredients:
- Cooked white rice, to serve
- Sliced green onion and sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Create a harmonious marinade by whisking together soy sauce, chicken broth, sherry cooking wine (30 milliliters or 1 fluid ounces), oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Ensure the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps. Set aside for later use.
- Prepare the steak by generously seasoning it with freshly ground black pepper and Chinese 5-spice blend. Heat one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is visibly shimmering and hot.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet, allowing it to develop a rich, golden-brown crust. Cook undisturbed for approximately 2 minutes on each side to achieve optimal searing.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, allowing the internal juices to redistribute. Slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch (2.5 centimeters) strips, ensuring tender and easy-to-eat pieces.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon (15 milliliters) of vegetable oil. Introduce bell peppers and sauté for 3 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain their vibrant color.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, releasing its aromatic flavors and softening the garlic slightly.
- Whisk the previously prepared marinade mixture to recombine any settled ingredients. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and sliced steak.
- Stir the ingredients thoroughly and allow the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Watch as the sauce transforms into a glossy, thick coating that clings to the meat and vegetables.
- Serve the steak and peppers over a bed of fluffy white rice. Optionally, garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
