Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, or button), sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, searing it for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the mushrooms and bell pepper, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the oyster sauce and sugar, then return the cooked beef to the pan. Toss everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are well coated in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve the stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles.
