Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plant-based beef strips
- 1 medium onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: peel and slice the onion into thin strips. Seed and slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and vegetable broth until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion slices and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the red and yellow bell pepper slices to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Increase the heat to high and add the plant-based beef strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the strips are browned and heated through.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetable and plant-based beef mixture in the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly and let the sauce thicken, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Season with black pepper to taste and stir in the sliced green onions.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Beef Stir-Fry with steamed rice or noodles.
