Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean beef (such as sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the beef, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until just browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is cooked through and the sauce evenly coats everything.
Step 6
Sprinkle green onions over the stir-fry and give it a final stir before removing it from heat.
Step 7
Serve the stir-fry on its own or over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete low-sodium meal. Enjoy!
