Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. This will ensure tenderness.
In a medium bowl, toss the beef strips with cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
Cut the onion in half and then into thin slices. Slice the green bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix together the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the coated beef strips to the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes, or until browned on the outside but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions and bell pepper, stir-frying for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Return the beef to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, and let them cook together for another 2-3 minutes, until the beef is cooked through.
Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
