About This Recipe

This savory Beef Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers and Onions is a quick, flavorful dish that brings tender beef and crisp vegetables together in a rich, glossy sauce. Thinly sliced beef tenderloin is marinated with soy sauce, cornstarch, and egg white for maximum tenderness, then stir-fried to perfection. Aromatic garlic and ginger infuse the dish with depth, while sweet bell peppers and onions add a satisfying crunch. The secret lies in the quick high-heat cooking method—locking in juices and ensuring the beef stays succulent. Finished with oyster sauce and a touch of sugar for balance, this stir-fry is a perfect weeknight meal that’s both delicious and easy to prepare. Serve it over steamed rice for a complete, restaurant-quality dinner at home!
