Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Place in a bowl, add low-sodium soy sauce, and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince the ginger and garlic.
After marinating, coat the beef strips with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well coated. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Remove excess oil from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the ginger, garlic, and half of the green onions, stir-frying for another minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir to combine.
Return the crispy beef to the pan, tossing everything together to coat the beef in the sauce.
Garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve immediately with your choice of rice or steamed vegetables.
