  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the beef, vegetables, and mince the ginger and garlic.

    Ensure all ingredients are prepped before starting to cook.
  2. Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Add Vegetables

    Add ginger, garlic, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.

    Keep the vegetables crisp by not overcooking them.
  6. Finish with Seasoning

    Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and add black pepper and green onions. Mix well.

    Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
  7. Serve

    Serve hot over rice or noodles.

    Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
