Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, against the grain for tenderness.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Add the beef slices and mix until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Mince the garlic and ginger, slice the red and green bell peppers, and chop the green onions.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer. Stir-fry quickly until the beef turns brown. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the pan, mixing well with the vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry and mix gently.
Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniment, such as steamed rice or quinoa.
