Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 stalks green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, cutting against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Thinly slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if desired).
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
