Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef (sirloin or round)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 100 grams carrots
- 100 grams baby corn
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Slice the lean beef into thin strips, trimming off any visible fat.
Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the onion and red bell pepper. Cut the carrots into thin slices and the green onions into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth, then set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the beef strips to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onion and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and baby corn to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the pan along with the low-sodium soy sauce and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables, about 2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat savory beef with vegetables.
