Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams lean beef sirloin
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 2 stalks, sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon, minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced-sodium
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, removing any excess fat.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and set aside.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the beef strips to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Using the remaining olive oil, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until just tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the pan along with sliced green onions, mixing everything together.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with black pepper, then remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the beef stir-fry over warm cooked brown rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
