Cut beef into thin strips and mix together with soy sauce, sambal oelek and sesame oil in a bowl. Set aside.
Peel onion and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) cubes.
Rinse bell pepper, wipe dry, cut into quarters and remove seeds. Cut pepper into thin strips.
Peel ginger root and cut into fine strips. Peel and finely chop garlic.
Rinse mung bean sprouts and drain well. Drain water chestnuts.
Heat the oil in a wok (or a heavy pan) over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry until browned, then remove from wok.
Add onion and bell pepper and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add water chestnuts, oyster sauce and broth. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until sauce coats vegetables, about 2 minutes.
