Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Place in a bowl, add low-sodium soy sauce, and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince the ginger and garlic.

Step 3

After marinating, coat the beef strips with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well coated. Shake off any excess.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Remove excess oil from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Add the ginger, garlic, and half of the green onions, stir-frying for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the crispy beef to the pan, tossing everything together to coat the beef in the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve immediately with your choice of rice or steamed vegetables.
