Ingredients:
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 450g beef eye of round, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/16 inch thick
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 2-inch squares
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch squares
- 1 teaspoon Chinese chili-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil
Instructions:
- Combine minced garlic, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, pepper, and a teaspoon of oil in a bowl. Mix well and add the meat, ensuring it is coated thoroughly. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours or place in the refrigerator overnight.
- In a small bowl, whisk together stock, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Heat half a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add half of the meat and cook over high heat until one side is browned, approximately 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining half of the meat using another half tablespoon of oil.
- Introduce the chopped onion and the remaining oil to the skillet. Cook over a medium flame, stirring until the onion is soft, typically around 3 minutes. Incorporate the bell peppers and cook over a low flame, stirring, until they are tender yet still slightly crisp, for about 6 minutes. Stir the stock mixture thoroughly, then add it to the skillet. Let it simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it begins to thicken, which should take around 2 minutes. Return the cooked meat to the skillet and let it simmer until completely heated. Remove from the heat and mix in the chili-garlic paste, sesame oil, and basil. Serve hot.
