Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by slicing the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Core and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the yellow onion into thin slices.
Peel and mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce with cornstarch until smooth, and then set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with cooking spray.
Add the beef strips to the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and stir in the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated.
Season with black pepper and continue to stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
Serve hot, and enjoy your low fat beef stir fry with bell peppers and onions!
