Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (sliced thinly)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or canola oil)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots (sliced thinly)
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 Green onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon White or black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and white or black pepper.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the stir fry and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
