Start by slicing the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and cornstarch to create a marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, finely chop the garlic, and thinly slice the red and green bell peppers and onion.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet, mixing with the vegetables. Drizzle with sesame oil and add the water, stirring well to combine.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables.
Serve hot, ideally over steamed rice or with a side of your choice.
