Ingredients

• 400 grams Lean beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 100 grams Snow peas
• 100 grams Water chestnuts, sliced
• 100 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. In a medium bowl, combine the beef with 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned. Stir occasionally. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high, then add broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, snow peas, and sliced water chestnuts. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and the remaining 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve the stir-fry hot, optionally over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
