Ingredients
- 1 pound beef steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add sliced beef and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
