            \n

          2. Place the beef in a bowl and add soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, black pepper, and vegetable oil.<\/li>\n

            1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, water (or broth), sugar, cornstarch, and black pepper.<\/li>\n
            2. Stir well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.<\/li>\n

              5. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Step 4: Cook the Vegetables<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                1. In the same pan, add the remaining oil.<\/li>\n
                2. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 10\u201315 seconds<\/strong> until fragrant.<\/li>\n
                3. Add the onions and bell peppers.<\/li>\n
                4. Stir-fry for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong> until slightly softened but still crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Step 5: Combine and Sizzle<\/h3>\n
                    \n
                  1. Return the cooked beef to the pan.<\/li>\n
                  2. Pour in the prepared sauce.<\/li>\n
                  3. Stir well to coat the beef and vegetables.<\/li>\n
                  4. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong> until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.<\/li>\n
