Instructions

Toss the steak slices with 1 tsp of black pepper and salt.
Heat 3 tbsp of sunflower oil and sesame oil in a wok (or large frying pan) over high heat until hot. Add the steak and stir-fry until browned on both sides. Transfer to a bowl.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Sauté the onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper until tender.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and beef stock to make the sauce.
Add the sauce to the wok and bring it to a boil. Allow it to thicken slightly.
Return the steak to the pan and stir to coat it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the steak is heated through.
Serve over rice.

Notes

For extra heat, add more black pepper or chili flakes.
To make the dish vegetarian, replace steak with tofu or tempeh.
Can be served with rice or noodles.
Gluten-free options: Use gluten-free soy sauce and verify the oyster sauce is gluten-free.
