Ingredients

• 450 grams beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 3 stalks green onions
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 4 cups cooked rice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the beef sirloin into thin, bite-sized strips. Place the beef in a bowl and add the cornstarch, tossing to coat the strips evenly.

Step 2

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the carrot into matchsticks, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lemon juice, and fish sauce. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine and ensure even coating. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and stir in the green onions.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of cooked rice.
