Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh and grated
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Slice the lean beef sirloin thinly across the grain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them in water for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan.
Step 5
Add the sliced beef to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
In the same pan, add the sliced red bell pepper and green onions. Stir fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 7
Return the beef and blanched broccoli to the pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the top.
Step 8
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is evenly coated.
Step 9
Serve the beef and broccoli stir fry hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
