Ingredients

  • 8 oz (230g) beef tenderloin flank steak or flap meat, cut into pieces
  • 2 ½ tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 piece ginger peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 small green bell pepper deseeded and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper deseeded and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 onion cut into strips
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • salt to taste

Marinade:

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Maggi seasoning sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or sherry
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Marinate the beef with all the Marinade ingredients for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the beef until it is browned on the outside but still pink inside. Dish out and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger until aromatic, then add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry until you can smell the aromas of the ingredients in the wok.
  • Return the beef to the wok or skillet and stir-fry until cooked through, ensuring the center of the meat is no longer pink, about 1-2 minutes. Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
