Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger root
• 2 tbsp chili paste
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 green onions
• 2 cups white rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into strips and place it in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch to the beef. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, peel and julienne the carrot, finely chop the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the pan, spreading it out in an even layer. Let it sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a good crust.

Step 6

Stir-fry the beef for an additional 1-2 minutes until it is almost cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add more oil if necessary, then add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the bell peppers and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.

Step 9

Return the beef to the pan along with the chili paste, hoisin sauce, remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir everything together to coat the beef and vegetables in the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 11

Slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them over the stir-fry.

Step 12

Serve hot over cooked white rice.
