Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until it is lightly browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red, green, and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is fully cooked.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss again to combine.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside noodles for a complete meal.
