Steps
Cut the marinated steak into strips (the author used pre-marinated steak). To marinate the beef yourself: mix in 1 spoon of light soy sauce, 1 spoon of oyster sauce, and 1 spoon of starch with a little salt and black pepper, massage well, spray with oil, and marinate for 20 minutes.
✅ Done when: The marinade coats every strip evenly and the beef has rested for 20 minutes.

Step 2
Cut the bell peppers into strips.
✅ Done when: The peppers are sliced into even, uniform strips.
When the oil is hot, add the beef strips and minced garlic and stir-fry.
✅ Done when: The oil shimmers before the beef and garlic hit the pan.
Once the beef has changed color, add the cut bell peppers and stir-fry.
✅ Done when: The beef is no longer pink on the outside.
