Ingredients

• 300 grams vegetarian beef strips
• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons water
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 large carrot, sliced thinly
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 units green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the soy sauce mixture. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and water, whisking until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetarian beef strips and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they start to become tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

Step 5

Return the cooked vegetarian beef strips to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry and add the black pepper, tossing everything to combine.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.

Step 7

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it a final toss.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot as is or over steamed rice or noodles.
