Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 100 grams Soybeans (edamame), shelled
- 2 units Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 50 milliliters Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to form the marinade.
Place the thinly sliced beef sirloin in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add a teaspoon of sesame oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Once the wok is hot, stir-fry the marinated beef strips for about 3-4 minutes until they are browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the sliced green and red bell peppers and shelled soybeans. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the wok, add the cornstarch slurry, and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Season with black pepper and add the chopped green onions. Stir well to combine.
Serve the stir-fried beef hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
