- Prepare the steak: Begin by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. This step is crucial for tenderness, as cutting against the muscle fibers shortens them, resulting in a more pleasant texture when eaten. Use a sharp knife and try to keep the slices uniform in thickness for even cooking. Once sliced, pat the meat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture — this helps it sear rather than steam. Lightly season the beef with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, ensuring an even coating.
- Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. When the oil is shimmering and almost smoking, carefully lay the beef slices in a single layer in the pan. Avoid overcrowding, which could prevent proper browning. Sear the beef for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until it develops a rich brown crust on the surface while remaining slightly pink in the center. Do not overcook at this stage, as it will finish cooking later. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside, allowing the juices to redistribute.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften while still retaining a slight crunch. The onions should turn slightly translucent and the bell peppers should remain vibrant in color. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Take care not to burn the garlic, which can turn bitter.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), and broth. Stir everything together to combine and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, during which the flavors begin to meld. If you prefer a thicker sauce that coats the ingredients more generously, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional minute or so, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
