Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 2 medium Green bell peppers (sliced into strips)
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced 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.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the green bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still have a crunch.
Return the beef to the skillet with the green peppers. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir to recombine and pour it over the beef and peppers.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the beef is fully cooked.
Drizzle with sesame oil and stir well to combine before removing from heat.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions. Pair with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete, low-sodium meal.
