Ingredients

• 450g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (ensure halal-certified)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (halal)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: sesame seeds & green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:
   In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add beef slices and mix well. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Cook the Beef:
   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
   Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry onion, garlic, ginger, broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. Combine:
   Return the cooked beef to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and stir well.
6. Simmer:
   Let the stir-fry cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the meat and vegetables.
7. Serve:
   Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
