- 2 tablespoons soy sauce for marinade
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-fry
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce for sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (cornstarch slurry)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
- Cooked white rice or steamed rice, for serving

Instructions:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the steak slices and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Keep this mixture aside.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Place the marinated steak in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove steak and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and sauté onions and bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Combine and Thicken: Return the steak to the skillet along with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce and mix well. Bring to a simmer.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
8. Serve: Dish the pepper steak over cooked rice and serve hot.
