Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add thinly sliced beef sirloin to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Return the beef to the pan, along with the cherry tomatoes. Stir in oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Stir fry all ingredients together for another 3-4 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the pan, then squeeze the juice of one lemon over the stir fry.
Toss everything gently to combine and evenly coat with the lemon juice, then remove from heat.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
