Ingredients

• 400 grams lean beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 spray olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and cornstarch to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the beef is marinating, finely chop the garlic, and thinly slice the red and green bell peppers and onion.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.

Step 6

Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet, mixing with the vegetables. Drizzle with sesame oil and add the water, stirring well to combine.

Step 9

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables.

Step 10

Serve hot, ideally over steamed rice or with a side of your choice.
