Ingredients

• 400 grams lean beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 2 whole large onions
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 whole green bell pepper
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Add the beef strips and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef marinates, peel and slice the onions thinly. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes or until the onions have turned translucent.

Step 7

Add the green and red bell peppers, stirring for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet, and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Stir to combine everything thoroughly.

Step 9

Season with black pepper and stir continuously as the sauce thickens, cooking until the beef is cooked through, about 3 more minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir-fry just before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice or as desired.
