Ingredients

• 250 grams lean beef sirloin
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, julienned carrot
• 2 stalks, sliced green onions
• 1 tablespoon, minced fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced-sodium
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, removing any excess fat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and set aside.

Step 3

Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the beef strips to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Using the remaining olive oil, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until just tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pan along with sliced green onions, mixing everything together.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Season with black pepper, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 10

Serve the beef stir-fry over warm cooked brown rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
