• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

Deseed the red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch with water until smooth. This is the sauce mixture.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the bell pepper slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften yet still maintain a bit of crunch.

Step 9

Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the sauce mixture; cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined.

Step 10

Season the stir-fry with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
