Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams lean beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small red onion
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Prepare the vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the zucchini into half-moons, finely chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and mince the garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer without overcrowding, cooking them in batches if necessary. Stir-fry the beef until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic, stirring until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, stir-frying until they start to soften, approximately 3 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet, along with the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Season the stir-fry with salt and black pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of juice from the lemon and toss with fresh parsley.
Serve the stir-fried beef and vegetables hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
