Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots (julienned)
- 1 large red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks scallions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the beef slices with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside with the beef.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth or water, the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the garlic and ginger, stirring well to create a sauce.
Return the beef and vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa for a high-protein meal.
