Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef (preferably sirloin or tenderloin, trimmed of visible fat, cut into thin strips)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 piece Onion (medium, thinly sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 pieces Green chilies (finely sliced, adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional for added flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green chilies to the pan. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir to coat the onions and aromatics in the spices.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean beef strips to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the beef and mix well to evenly coat the meat.

Step 7

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (use salt sparingly, as the soy sauce adds saltiness).

Step 8

Lower the heat and let the beef cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure all the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
