2 cups (400g) of brown or white rice, already cooked
→ Main Components
02 -
2 tablespoons of oil for cooking
03 -
1 pound (450g) of beef (ground, flank steak, or sirloin)
04 -
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
05 -
1 tablespoon of minced ginger (optional)
06 -
1 onion, cut into thin strips
07 -
2 bell peppers, sliced thinly (pick any colors you like)
→ Sauce
08 -
1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
09 -
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
10 -
1/2 cup (120ml) broth (chicken or beef)
11 -
1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce
12 -
1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes for heat (optional)

1 teaspoon of honey or sugar for sweetness

# Steps:
01 -
Cut steak thinly, going across the grain. Skip this step if using ground beef.
02 -
Grab a small bowl and stir together all the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, chili flakes (if you're adding them), and broth.
03 -
In a big frying pan over medium-high heat, add a spoon of oil. Cook the beef until it browns—about 3-4 minutes for steak, or 5-6 minutes if it's ground. Take it out once it's done.
04 -
Use the same pan and toss in the rest of the oil. Add onions, peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir and cook for a few minutes, just until they soften but still have a little crunch.
05 -
Put the beef back into the pan, pour in the sauce, and mix everything well. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens up slightly.
06 -
Spoon some rice into bowls, pile the beef and veggies on top, then sprinkle on green onions and sesame seeds to finish.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap out the beef for shrimp, tofu, or chicken if you'd like.
02 -
Optional: Mix in broccoli or mushrooms to add more veggies.
03 -
If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in a bit of cornstarch mixed with water as it simmers.
