Add 3/4 cup of water to a bowl for the sauce.

Mix in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch, pepper, a few drops of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.

Whisk the sauce ingredients together.

Slice the sirloin steak into fine strips across the grain.

Add more pepper to the steak strips and stir to combine.

Heat oil in a preheated pan over medium-high heat.

Add the beef to the pan and fry until browned.

Add 1 small onion, 3 cloves of garlic, thumb-sized ginger, 1 green bell pepper, and carrots to the pan.

Fry the vegetables until tender-crisp and the green peppers change color.

Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring to thicken.

Once thickened, remove from heat and serve over steamed rice.
