Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
Sauce
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin thinly and chop bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create a balanced sweet and savory stir fry sauce.
- Cook the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for approximately 3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for 5 minutes, cooking until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Thinly slicing the beef helps it cook quickly and stay tender.
- Use mixed color bell peppers for a vibrant dish and added nutrients.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh chili.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
