Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened yet still vibrant in color.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, along with any remaining marinade from the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. If you like a bit of heat, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes at this stage.
Remove the skillet from heat. Top the dish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
