Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 455 g Beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar (unsalted)
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 6 stalks Green onions, sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the beef in a medium bowl.
In the bowl with the beef, combine 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. Mix well to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare your vegetables by slicing the green onions into 2-inch pieces and the red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, green onions, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but maintain their crispness.
Return the beef to the skillet along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and everything is evenly coated.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, serve over cooked brown rice for a complete meal.
