Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions:
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix the beef slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and beef broth. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil and sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions and bell peppers, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the beef to the skillet, and add the pineapple chunks. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
