Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin (thinly sliced against the grain)
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (halal certified)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper (medium, thinly sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (medium, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 red onion (medium, thinly sliced)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1.5 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
• 3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef sirloin, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 5 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
2. Wash the jasmine rice thoroughly. In a rice cooker or medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, water, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Cook according to package directions or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
3. While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
4. Add the red and green bell peppers and red onion to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and lime juice. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
6. Fluff the garlic rice with a fork. Serve the stir-fried peppered beef immediately over the garlic rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Marinating the beef while you chop the vegetables ensures maximum flavor in a short amount of time. You can use beef tenderloin for an even more tender result.
