Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 Yellow onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free tamari sauce
- 0.25 cup Beef broth (gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (or high-heat cooking oil of choice)
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Optional garnish: sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Optional garnish: chopped green onions
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the tamari sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then set aside.
Season the thinly sliced beef with ground black pepper and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until just browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic, sliced onion, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and stir well to coat.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it one final toss.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
