Ingredients: 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided; 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips; 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips; 2 cups broccoli florets; 1 medium carrot, julienned; 1 cup snow peas, trimmed; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon oyster sauce; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the beef

Place beef strips in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Make the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
Cook the beef

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until beef is browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef to a plate.
Stir-fry vegetables

In the same wok, add remaining tablespoon of oil. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli and carrots, stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and snow peas, continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Combine and finish

Return beef and any accumulated juices to the wok. Pour the sauce over everything and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well coated and sauce has thickened slightly. If sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Serve

Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
