Ingredients

• 250 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 200 grams Firm tofu (beancurd), cut into cubes
• 150 grams Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 unit Bell pepper, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 units Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, and cornstarch. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until they become fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry until it's browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sliced bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cubed firm tofu to the skillet and gently fold it into the mushrooms and peppers, allowing the tofu to warm through and lightly brown.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar.

Step 8

Pour in the 1/4 cup of water to deglaze the pan, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
