Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 2 Large onions
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 3 Fresh garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger root
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable or canola oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 Green onions

Directions

Step 1

1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

2. Peel the onions and slice them into thin wedges. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger root.

Step 3

3. In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to the bowl. Stir well to combine, creating a soy-free stir-fry sauce.

Step 4

4. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable or canola oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

5. Add the beef strips to the hot oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until they start to brown but are still slightly pink in the center, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.

Step 6

6. In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, around 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

7. Return the beef to the wok. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

8. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 9

9. Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry before serving.

Step 10
