Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lean beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin), sliced into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil (choose a heart-healthy brand)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Carrot, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 2 cups Brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Toss in the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve immediately over brown rice or quinoa if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and aroma.
