Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower for a low-carb option)
• Optional garnishes: Fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, green onions, lime wedges

Step-by-step Directions

1. Prepare the Rice

Cook the rice according to the package instructions if not previously prepared. Keep warm and set aside.

2. Cook the Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Set the cooked beef aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

Using the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and cook the peppers, onion, and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp and fragrant.

4. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Pour this sauce over the vegetables, simmer for 1-2 minutes until well blended and heated through.

5. Combine the Beef

Add the beef back into the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until well mixed and the sauce is absorbed.

6. Assemble the Bowl

Spoon the warm cooked rice into bowls. Top with the beef and pepper mixture, and if desired, garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice for added zest.

7. Serve

Enjoy your Beef and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry Bowl hot, experiencing the superb meld of beef, crisp peppers, and the savory sauce over rice.
