Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and place in a bowl.
In the bowl, mix the beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water to create the stir-fry sauce.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the ingredients.
Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
