Chop 500g of beef into thin strips.

Place a frying pan over medium flame and add 1 and 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil.

Wait for the oil to heat for 20-30 seconds.

Add the beef strips in a single layer to the hot oil.

While the beef is cooking, peel and slice the potatoes, ensuring they are not too thin.

In another frying pan, add cooking oil over medium-high flame and wait for it to heat.

Check if the oil is ready by dropping in a piece of potato; if it floats, the oil is ready.

Carefully drop in the sliced potatoes and toss them using a skimmer.

Fry the potatoes for around 2 to 5 minutes.

After about 3 minutes, check the beef; it should have released some water.

Cook the beef until the water evaporates to sear the meat.

After frying the potatoes for 2 minutes, let them hold their shape before flipping them to fry on all sides.

After around 6 minutes, the potatoes should be cooked halfway but not crispy yet; transfer them to a plate lined with kitchen paper towel to drain excess oil.

Wait for 20-30 seconds for the oil to get super hot before adding the potatoes back to crisp them up.

After 30 seconds, place the potatoes back into the hot oil and fry for 10 to 20 seconds until crispy.

Add 1 chopped white onion, chopped carrots, and bell peppers to the beef.

Sprinkle in 1/2 tsp of onion powder, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, and black pepper.

Add 1 tsp of dark soy sauce and 1 tbsp of oyster sauce to the mixture.

Toss everything together to combine the flavors and colors.

Cook for around 1 to 2 minutes until the onions soften with the other vegetables.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, as the soy sauce and oyster sauce are salty.

Garnish the dish with lots of coriander before serving.
