🥘Ingredients

For the Steak

1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

👨‍🍳Directions

1Pat the steak slices dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then add the steak in a single layer.

4Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter to the skillet.
5Add the sliced onion and bell peppers, stirring frequently, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until they begin to soften and develop brown spots.
6Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the vegetables.
9Return the seared steak and any accumulated juices to the skillet, tossing everything together over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the steak is heated through and coated with the sauce.
