Ingredients

• 450 grams lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1 medium mango, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Season the sliced beef with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet in batches to avoid crowding. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the pineapple chunks, diced mango, and green onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the Tropical Beef Low Fat immediately over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
