Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  
  

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  
  

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  
  

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  
  

• 1 medium onion, sliced
  
  

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
  
  

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  
  

• 1/4 cup water
  
  

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sugar
  
  

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
   
   

2. Toss the sliced beef with cornstarch until coated evenly.
   
   

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
   
   

4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Sauté the garlic, bell peppers, and onion until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
