Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 15 g cornstarch
- 15 g brown sugar
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 g ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 150 g broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 10 g sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 60 ml water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves, then add the thinly sliced beef. Toss to coat and marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the water, brown sugar, and 1 additional tablespoon of soy sauce (optional) to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and julienned carrot. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the stir fry sauce. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry and toss once more to distribute evenly.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
