Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (uncooked) Brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 3 individual Scallions, sliced (green and white parts)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low heat, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix to coat the beef evenly and marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Wash and prepare the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, snow peas, scallions, garlic, and ginger. Set the vegetables aside in separate bowls for easy cooking.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, then add the bell peppers and snow peas. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve the stir-fry hot over the cooked brown rice and garnish with sliced scallions. Enjoy your Vegetable and Beef Stir Fry with Brown Rice!
