Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 60 ml Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 60 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain into strips about 1/4-inch thick.
In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, 30 ml of soy sauce, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: cut broccoli into florets, slice the carrot and red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the onion thinly.
In a large wok or non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the hot pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the broccoli, carrot, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the pan, add the remaining 30 ml of soy sauce and water, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Season the stir-fry with black pepper to taste and stir in the sesame oil for a hint of nutty flavor.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry just before serving for a fresh finish.
Serve hot with a side of steamed rice or noodles if desired.
