Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 inch piece, minced ginger
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, sliced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, sliced onion
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of black pepper. Add sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches, searing them until browned on all sides. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion to the pan and stir-fry them for approximately 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch with 100 ml of water until smooth. Add fish sauce, rice vinegar, and honey to this mixture.
Step 7
Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Step 8
Return the beef to the pan, mixing well to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until the beef is fully heated and coated.
Step 9
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
