Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
Marinade and Sauce
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cooking Oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Marinate Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Sear Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and sear it for about 2 minutes until browned but still slightly undercooked to retain juiciness.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry together with the beef for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are bright in color and retain a crisp-tender texture.
- Combine and Finish: Pour any remaining marinade over the stir-fry mixture. Toss everything together and cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors and ensure everything is heated through before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and omit oyster sauce or ensure it’s gluten-free.
- Adjust vegetable selection based on seasonal availability or preference.
- Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Oyster sauce is optional but adds a depth of umami flavor.
