Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) top sirloin steak
- 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup (120 ml) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sherry cooking wine
- 2 tbsps oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil, divided
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp Chinese 5-spice
- Cooked white rice, to serve
- Sliced green onion and sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Marinade Preparation: Whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, sherry cooking wine, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, creating a flavor-enhancing liquid mixture.
- Steak Seasoning and Searing: Season sirloin with black pepper and Chinese 5-spice blend. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear steak for 2 minutes per side to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Meat Resting and Slicing: Remove steak from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into 1-inch strips, ensuring tender and juicy meat portions.
- Vegetable Sautéing: In the same skillet, reduce heat and add remaining oil. Sauté bell peppers for 3 minutes, then introduce minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release aromatic flavors.
- Sauce Incorporation: Rewhisk the marinade mixture and pour into the skillet with vegetables and sliced steak. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce transforms into a glossy, thick coating that envelops the ingredients.
- Plating and Garnishing: Serve the steak and peppers over white rice, garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Master Marinade Technique: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate cornstarch lumps, creating a smooth, flavorful sauce base that ensures even coating and rich taste.
- Searing Secrets: Use medium-high heat and resist moving the steak to develop a perfect golden-brown crust, which locks in juices and creates incredible depth of flavor.
- Resting Ritual: Always let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking, allowing internal juices to redistribute and guaranteeing maximum tenderness and juiciness.
- Vegetable Vibrancy: Sauté bell peppers briefly to maintain their color and crisp texture, preventing them from becoming soggy or losing their fresh flavor profile.
