Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Add the chili peppers and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
5
Add the cooked beef back into the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the beef is well coated. Stir in the chopped Thai basil and cook for an additional minute.
