Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained or fresh)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Deseed and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion into thin wedges. Drain the pineapple chunks if using canned pineapple.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they are slightly caramelized.
Return the beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Remove from heat and serve the tropical beef skillet warm over steamed rice or noodles.
