Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 inch piece, grated ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large, sliced into thin strips red bell pepper
- 1 large, julienned carrot
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, optional for garnish unsalted peanuts
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Add the beef strips to this mixture, toss to coat, and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef strips. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, along with the sauce mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce evenly coats everything.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Optionally, garnish with unsalted peanuts for added crunch and texture before serving.
Serve the stir-fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles of your choice.
