Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 servings cooked rice or noodles (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the peanut butter sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just 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 red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 5

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the peanut butter sauce. Stir everything together until the beef and vegetables are well coated in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

If desired, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 7

Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Beef Stir Fry!
