Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables until tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over it. Toss to combine and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
