Make Marinade and Marinate Steak
In a bowl combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha, sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp avocado oil. Add the thinly sliced beef, toss to coat, and let sit while you prep the vegetables.
Time: PT5M
Prep Vegetables
Julienne the red bell pepper, slice the yellow onion, chop the green onion (separate white and green parts), cut broccoli into bite‑size florets, and rinse the bean sprouts. Set each vegetable in its own bowl.
Time: PT5M
Sear the Beef
Heat the wok over medium‑high heat, add 1 tbsp avocado oil, and when shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Stir‑fry 2–3 minutes until the pieces turn a deep chocolate brown but are still slightly pink inside.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: medium-high heat
Stir‑Fry Vegetables
Remove the beef to a clean bowl. Add the remaining 1 tsp avocado oil to the wok, then toss in the white parts of the green onions, sliced onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir‑fry 3 minutes until vegetables are bright‑colored and just tender.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: medium-high heat
Add Sauce and Thicken
Stir the remaining marinade (if any) back into the wok, then pour in the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water). Cook 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce glazes the vegetables and thickens.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium-high heat
Combine Beef and Bean Sprouts
Return the seared beef to the wok, add the bean sprouts and the green parts of the green onions. Toss everything together for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through and the bean sprouts stay crisp.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium-high heat
Serve
Spoon the hot stir‑fry over steamed white rice and enjoy immediately.
