Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks (julienned)
- 2 green onions, chopped (green and white parts separated)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain. Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into florets, slicing the bell pepper, trimming the snap peas, and julienning the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single, even layer. Allow it to sear without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich brown color. Then, stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets, snap peas, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. If using, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well.
- Toss all the ingredients together until everything is heated through and well combined, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the stir-fry. Toss gently.
- Plate the sizzling savory beef and veggie stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- For best results, slice beef thinly against the grain.
- Ensure your pan is hot before adding ingredients for proper searing.
