Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles (to serve)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
In a small bowl, prepare the peanut butter sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just 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 red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the peanut butter sauce. Stir everything together until the beef and vegetables are well coated in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
If desired, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Beef Stir Fry!
