Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Lean beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin)
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Carrot (thinly sliced)
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions. This usually involves rinsing the rice, then cooking it in about 2 cups of water until tender, which takes around 30-40 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the honey is dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the lean beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large non-stick pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and stir-fry until they are browned on the outside and just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan, add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef and vegetables, tossing everything to coat in the sauce. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the beef and vegetable mixture over a bed of cooked brown rice.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
