Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 2 Large onions
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 3 Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger root
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable or canola oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 Green onions
Instructions
1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
2. Peel the onions and slice them into thin wedges. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger root.
3. In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to the bowl. Stir well to combine, creating a soy-free stir-fry sauce.
4. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable or canola oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the beef strips to the hot oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until they start to brown but are still slightly pink in the center, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
6. In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, around 3-4 minutes.
7. Return the beef to the wok. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
8. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
9. Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry before serving.
10. Serve hot, optionally with steamed rice or noodles.
