Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snow peas
• 0.25 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and place it in a medium bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the low-sodium soy sauce and cornstarch. Add this mixture to the beef, toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the marinated beef slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the beef strips are browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, low-sodium beef broth, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Return the beef to the skillet.

Step 8

Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Season with black pepper to taste, then garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
