Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips across the grain and place in a bowl.

Thinly slice the ginger and garlic. Chop the onion and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the green onions.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.

In the same pan, add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
