Steps:
- Cut the beef into slices 5cm long and 5mm thick, cutting against the grain of the meat. Put them in a bowl. Mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine or Sherry and cornflour. Leave to marinate for 20 mins.
- Heat a wok until it is very hot, then add the groundnut oil. When it is slightly smoking, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 5 mins or until lightly browned. Remove the meat from the wok and drain well in a colander set inside a bowl. Discard the drained oil.
- Wipe the wok clean and reheat it over a high heat. Add the peppers, and cook for 3-4 mins or until softened. Add the oyster sauce and bring it to a simmer. Return the drained beef slices to the wok and toss them thoroughly with the oyster sauce. Turn the mixture on to a serving platter, top with the spring onions and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine the beef and soy sauce in a medium bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour, stirring once. Meanwhile, whisk the sherry, chicken broth, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a measuring cup. Combine the garlic, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil in small bowl.
- Drain the beef and disgard the liquid. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until smoking. Add half of the beef to the skillet and break up clumps; cook without stirring, 1 minute, then stire and cook until beef is browned about the edges, about 30 seconds. Transfer the beef to a medium bowl. Addd 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil to the skillet, heat until just smoking, and repeat with the remaining beef.
- Add 1 tablespoons peanut oil to the now-empty skillet; heat until just smoking. Add the broccoli and cook 30 seconds; add the water, cover the pan, and lower heat to medium. Steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil to the skillet; increase the heat to high and heat until just smoking. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until spotty brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Clear the center of the skillet; add the garlic and ginger to the clearing and cook, mashing the mixture with a spoon, until fragrant, about 15 to 20 seconds, then sture the mixture unto the peppers. Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and evenly distributed, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with the scallions, and serve.

Tips:
- Select the right cut of beef: For this recipe, use a tender and flavorful cut of beef, such as sirloin, flank steak, or ribeye. Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch helps tenderize it and adds flavor. You can marinate the beef for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for stir-frying. This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Stir-fry in batches: To prevent the beef from overcrowding and steaming, stir-fry it in batches. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Add the vegetables last: Vegetables cook quickly, so add them to the wok or skillet towards the end of the cooking process. This will help to ensure that they retain their crispness and鮮豔的色彩.
- Thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, mix a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and add it to the wok or skillet towards the end of the cooking process. Stir until the sauce has thickened.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried beef in oyster sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can make a restaurant-quality stir-fry at home.
