Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 2 large green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, slice the green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger, and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and optional red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and toss everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, flavorful stir-fry!
