Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 carrot
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups white or brown rice (cooked)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and transfer to a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef strips, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for better flavor.
While the beef marinates, thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrot into matchstick-sized pieces. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, carrot, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the beef strips to the skillet along with any remaining marinade. Stir-fry all the ingredients together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for an additional 30 seconds for added freshness.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked white or brown rice, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
