Slice beef thinly against the grain and marinate with soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper for 15 minutes.

Peel and cut potatoes into thin strips, then soak in water for 10 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.

Add marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove beef from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.

In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary, then add sliced potatoes and stir-fry until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Add sliced onion, bell pepper, ginger, and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Return the beef to the skillet and add oyster sauce, sugar, and a splash of water; stir well to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well-coated with sauce.

Garnish with sliced scallions and serve hot.
