Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef strips (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 6 tbsp (90g) vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp (45g) soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tbsp (15g) oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp (30g) hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30g) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 large onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Toss the beef strips in the marinade and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this sauce over the beef and simmer until it thickens.
  5. Add the sautéed onions back into the pan, stirring to combine. Serve the sizzling pepper steak hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality beef strips, and let the beef marinate for full flavor.
