Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 medium mango, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Season the sliced beef with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet in batches to avoid crowding. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the pineapple chunks, diced mango, and green onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Return the seared beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the Tropical Beef Low Fat immediately over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
