Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh and grated
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin thinly across the grain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them in water for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan.
Add the sliced beef to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the sliced red bell pepper and green onions. Stir fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Return the beef and blanched broccoli to the pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the top.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is evenly coated.
Serve the beef and broccoli stir fry hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
