Ingredients

• 400 grams lean beef sirloin, sliced thinly
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken or beef broth
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef slices. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the beef slices in a single layer, and cook until browned but not fully cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the beef to the skillet, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, low-sodium chicken or beef broth, and sesame oil.

Step 6

Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the stir-fry, stir to combine, and serve immediately.
