Ingredients

• 450 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots (julienned)
• 1 large red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth or water
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks scallions (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the beef slices with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside with the beef.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth or water, the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the garlic and ginger, stirring well to create a sauce.

Step 6

Return the beef and vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa for a high-protein meal.
