Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin steak
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 large carrot
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 small onion
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and place in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Pour this marinade over the sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, slice the carrot into thin rounds, chop the onion finely, and grate or mince the ginger.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the onion and ginger, stirring frequently until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper strips, snap peas, and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the mixture, gently stirring to combine and allow the flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir fry and toss to combine.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately. This stir fry pairs well with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
