Ingredients

• 450 g Lean beef sirloin
• 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 200 g Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 2 cups Brown rice or quinoa, cooked
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 60 ml Water
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, and season lightly with black pepper.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce with minced garlic and grated ginger. Add the beef strips to this mixture and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips while shaking off excess marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.

Step 5

5. Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

6. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the reserved marinade.

Step 7

7. Pour the marinade mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables beautifully.

Step 8

8. Serve the beef strips and vegetables over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
