Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 120 ml pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 150 grams fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin into bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Core and dice the red and yellow bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions thinly, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips, season with salt and black pepper, and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell peppers and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir fry for 1-2 minutes to lightly caramelize.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat all the ingredients and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and toss to combine.
Garnish with the green onion tops and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
