Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, sliced diagonally
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the pan, cooking it until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the pan and stir everything together.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Sprinkle the green onions and sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately while hot.
