Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

- 0.5 cup beef or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 for garnish green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the vegetables and stir-fry for an additional minute until fragrant.
Season with sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together.
In a small bowl, mix the beef or chicken broth with balsamic vinegar.
Pour the broth mixture into the skillet, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables.
Bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce, about 2 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with cold water in a separate small bowl to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
