Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced sirloin to the skillet and season with black pepper. Stir-fry the beef for about 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the sliced onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Add the cooked beef back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir everything together.

Step 7

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Drizzle sesame oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes over the stir fry. Give it a final toss to combine all the flavors.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite grain.
