- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
Let’s bring this flavorful dish to life with these simple steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the beef to the pan, toss everything together, and heat through for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
Remember, cooking is all about intuition—if the veggies start to look too soft, lower the heat and give them a stir. It’s something my abuela taught me, and it never fails!
