Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean beef (such as sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the beef, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until just browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is cooked through and the sauce evenly coats everything.
Sprinkle green onions over the stir-fry and give it a final stir before removing it from heat.
Serve the stir-fry on its own or over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete low-sodium meal. Enjoy!
