Season the cubed beef with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, a pinch of sugar, soy sauce, and black pepper, and let it set for 10 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan until hot, then add the seasoned beef and sear until well done.

Chop the bell peppers and onion into cubes.

Add the chopped vegetables to the pan with the beef and cook until they begin to soften but still have integrity.

Mix 1.5 packets of beef bouillon powder with water to create beef broth and add it to the pan.

Add a drop or two of sesame oil, a generous amount of fish sauce, and about 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the pan.

Stir the mixture and let it come to a slight boil.

Prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a little cold water.

Once the broth is boiling, add the cornstarch slurry while stirring to thicken the sauce.

Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
