Ingredients

• 450 grams Lean beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 large Green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil (or other heart-healthy oil)
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the bell peppers. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Give the soy sauce mixture another stir, then pour it over the beef and bell peppers. Mix everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the sauce has thickened slightly and evenly coats the ingredients.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped green onions and ground black pepper over the stir-fry. Stir briefly to incorporate.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal, if desired.
