Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef:
- Season the beef slices with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef slices and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Toss in the bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
3. Combine Everything:
- Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or more soy sauce if needed.
4. Serve:
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips:
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers.
- You can substitute chicken, pork, or tofu for the beef for a variation.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or snap peas for extra crunch and flavor.
