Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 2 medium Green bell peppers (sliced into strips)
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the green bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still have a crunch.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet with the green peppers. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir to recombine and pour it over the beef and peppers.
Step 6
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the beef is fully cooked.
Step 7
Drizzle with sesame oil and stir well to combine before removing from heat.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions. Pair with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete, low-sodium meal.
