Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Beef and Onion Stir-Fry
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir well to ensure the beef is fully coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 2-3 minutes. Toss in minced garlic and broccoli, stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in oyster sauce and drizzle sesame oil. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Prepare a bed of cooked rice on each plate. Spoon the Beef and Onion Stir-Fry over the rice and serve.
