Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Equipment

  • large skillet or wok
  • mixing bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch, then whisk until smooth to create the stir-fry sauce.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the sauce, ensuring it is well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and bell pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables, then pour in any remaining sauce from the marinade and stir well to combine and coat all ingredients.
  5. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Serving
  1. Serve the beef stir fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also customize the vegetables based on your preference, such as adding snow peas or mushrooms.
