Take a mixing bowl and add 500 grams of thinly sliced beef steak to it and sprinkle salt and black pepper over the beef slices.

Pour light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white vinegar into the beef bowl.

Sprinkle 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch over the mix.

Using a spatula combine all the ingredients together until the beef slices are coated with the ingredients evenly.

Marinate the mix for 30 minutes.

Take a small bowl and add 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp of white vinegar.

Lightly dust 2 tsp of sugar and 2 tbsp of cornstarch over the mixture.

Pour ¼ cup of water into the bowl.

Stir all the ingredients together using a spoon until the cornstarch dissolves completely and set the mixture aside for later use.

Heat a skillet over high heat.

Pour 3 tbsp of cooking oil into the pan.

Take the beef steaks that you marinated earlier and put them in the skillet in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.

Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes until they turn brown and caramelized.

Using a slotted spoon, flip the beef to the other side when needed.

Once cooked, remove the beef from the stove, transfer it to a plate, and keep them aside for later use.

Slice a large-sized onion thinly add it to the same skillet and saute until the onions start to soften.

Add 1 tbsp of grated garlic, and 1 tbsp of grated ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add 2 medium-sized red and green bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Season the bell peppers with a pinch of salt, ¼ tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and mix everything properly.

Pour the sauce you prepared earlier into the skillet.

Mix everything until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Add the cooked beef slices into the skillet.

Mix the beef steaks with all the ingredients and coat the slices with sauce evenly.

Transfer the food to a serving plate and enjoy the steaks hot straight from the stove!
