Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams lean beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 100 milliliters low-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips for quicker cooking and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch, mixing to form a marinade. Add the beef strips, ensuring they are well coated, and marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet and stir-fry until they are just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the beef onto a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, yellow onion, garlic, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, adding the low-sodium beef broth and grated ginger. Stir everything together and let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top before serving.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Beef Black Pepper warm, accompanied by a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
