Ingredients
- 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 2 large green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
While the beef is marinating, slice the green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger, and set them aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 4
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and optional red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and toss everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, flavorful stir-fry!
