• Salt (A little, to season the meat)
• Black pepper (A little, to season the meat)
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 Garlic (Freshly crushed cloves)
• Maggi seasoning (A little)
• Broccoli (Cut into small pieces; sanitized in water for about 3 minutes and rinsed well)
• Vegetable sanitizer (A little, for washing the broccoli and cabbage; use according to the product instructions)
• Water (For washing the vegetables and preparing the cornstarch slurry)
• 0.5 White onion (Cut into small pieces)
• 0.5 Red bell pepper
• 0.5 Green bell pepper
• 1 Carrot (Cut into thin strips)
• Cabbage (A small piece; wash with sanitizer and rinse well)
• Sesame oil (A drizzle, for cooking)
• Soy sauce (A little; adjust to taste at the end if needed)
• Oyster sauce (A little; adjust to taste at the end if needed)
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the beef steak into strips and place it in a bowl. Add a little salt and black pepper, the brown sugar, the crushed garlic cloves, and a little Maggi seasoning.

2. 2

   Mix the meat thoroughly with the seasonings and let it rest for approximately 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Place the broccoli, already cut into small pieces, in a bowl with water and vegetable sanitizer. Leave it for about 3 minutes, then rinse it very well.

4. 4

   Cut half of the white onion into small pieces. Also cut half of the red bell pepper, half of the green bell pepper, and the carrot into thin strips.

5. 5

   Wash the cabbage with a little sanitizer and water, let it sit for about 3 minutes, and rinse it well. The transcription explicitly mentions soaking the cabbage, but does not specify a different duration.

6. 6

   Heat a drizzle of sesame oil in a skillet. Add the seasoned meat and cook it for about 8 minutes.

7. 7

   When the meat is ready, add the onion and sauté it for about 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Add the red bell pepper and carrot. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Add the broccoli. Pour in a little soy sauce and oyster sauce, and mix thoroughly.

10. 10

    Add the cleaned cabbage and cover the skillet for about 2 minutes to prevent the broccoli and cabbage from overcooking.

11. 11

    In a separate bowl, mix a drizzle of water with the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until fully incorporated.

12. 12

    Pour the cornstarch mixture over the meat and vegetables. Mix thoroughly.

13. 13

    Taste and adjust the salt or add a little more of the sauces if needed. Serve the beef with vegetables.

Notes

The amounts of salt, pepper, Maggi seasoning, unspecified vegetables, oil, water, and sauces are approximate and have no exact measurements. The amount of broccoli or cabbage and the serving size are not specified. The transcription mentions green bell pepper among the vegetables, but does not clearly indicate when to add it; a step for incorporating it has been omitted due to the lack of precision. The 17-minute cooking time totals the stated skillet cooking times; no temperature is provided.
