Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the beef slices to the bowl, tossing to coat. Let this marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Remove the pepper from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Stir-fry the beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each batch for about 2-3 minutes, until browned. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the pan, with a splash of water if needed, and cover to steam for 3 minutes, until crisp-tender.

Step 8

Return the beef and red bell peppers to the pan with the broccoli.

Step 9

Stir the cornstarch slurry again then pour it into the pan, stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving warm.
