Ingredients

• 1 pound lean beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until just browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet. Add the cornstarch mixture, black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Remove from heat and top with sliced scallions before serving.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fry warm, optionally over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
