Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the beef slices, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss with the vegetables until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a spicier stir-fry, add a teaspoon of chili paste or a few red pepper flakes during the stir-frying process.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Vegetarians can substitute the beef with tofu or a medley of mushrooms for a delectable alternative.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply use a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
