Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the beef strips. Mix well to ensure all the strips are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
While the beef marinates, slice the green onions into thin rounds and the red bell pepper into thin strips. Set aside.
After marination, sprinkle the cornstarch over the beef strips and toss to coat evenly. The cornstarch will help achieve a crispy texture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the strips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Return the crispy beef strips to the skillet with the red bell peppers. Add the sliced green onions and toss everything together for an additional minute.
Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds for added crunch and nutty flavor.
Serve the crispy pan-fried beef strips immediately, either over steamed rice or with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
