Ingredients
- 300 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.
Step 2
While the rice is cooking, slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrot. Chop the green onions.
Step 3
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and add a pinch of black pepper. Stir together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Fluff the cooked brown rice with a fork, then divide it among serving bowls.
Step 8
Top the rice with the beef and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle each bowl with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
