Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Deseed the red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and slice them into thin strips.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch with water until smooth. This is the sauce mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the beef slices to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell pepper slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften yet still maintain a bit of crunch.
Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the sauce mixture; cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined.
Season the stir-fry with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
