Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean beef sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red bell pepper
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot
- 100 grams snow peas
- 2 spring onions
- 200 grams cooked brown rice
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin steak into thin strips against the grain for tenderness.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Peel and grate the ginger, and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the sauce mixture and stir well.
Pour half of the sauce over the sliced steak, mixing to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the steak is marinating, prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the red bell pepper, peel and julienne the carrot, and chop the spring onions into small pieces.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak strips in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the broccoli florets, carrot, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the snow peas and the remaining half of the sauce to the vegetable mixture. Stir fry for another 2 minutes.
Return the cooked steak to the pan along with the spring onions, tossing everything together until the steak is heated through and fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately over cooked brown rice.
