Instructions

Thinly slice the beef against the grain at a 45° angle into ¼” thick strips. Marinate with baking soda, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and cornstarch for 15 minutes in a bowl.
Cut the bell peppers and onion into 2” pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger finely; set aside.
Prepare the sauce by mixing beef stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, black pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl.
Heat a wok or skillet on high with 2 tbsp of neutral oil. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes until 80% cooked through and remove.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Return the steak to the skillet, add the sauce, and cook until the sauce is thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes. Serve with white rice.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
Ensure the beef is sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Serve with cooked white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
