Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 inch piece, grated ginger
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 large, sliced into thin strips red bell pepper
• 1 large, julienned carrot
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup, optional for garnish unsalted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Add the beef strips to this mixture, toss to coat, and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef strips. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 8

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, along with the sauce mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce evenly coats everything.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with unsalted peanuts for added crunch and texture before serving.

Step 11

Serve the stir-fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles of your choice.
