Ingredients
- 12 ounces lean beef sirloin
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 quarter cup unsalted cashews
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups brown rice, cooked
Directions
Step 1
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Core, seed, and slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into strips.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth to make the stir-fry sauce.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the beef strips to the skillet. Stir-fry the beef for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the bell pepper slices. Stir-fry the peppers for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the bell peppers.
Step 7
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the beef and bell peppers. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Add the sliced green onions and unsalted cashews. Stir to combine well and season with black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve the stir-fry hot over cooked brown rice.
Step 10
Enjoy your heart-healthy beef stir-fry!
