Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb beef steak (such as flank or sirloin), thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef and vegetables.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, and sliced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables and pour in the soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
- Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra heat, you can add sliced chili peppers or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Use flank or sirloin steak for the best texture and flavor, thinly sliced against the grain for tenderness.
- Serve this dish over steamed rice or noodles to make a complete meal.
- Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding beef to ensure proper browning and flavor development.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
