- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound beef eye of round, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/16 inch thick
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 2-inch squares
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch squares
- 1 teaspoon Chinese chili-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

- In a bowl, mix the garlic, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, pepper and 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add the meat and coat well. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
