Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften but still retain some crunch, approximately 5 minutes.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, pouring the soy sauce mixture over the top. Stir well to combine.
6. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually add this to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
7. Once everything is evenly coated with the thickened sauce, remove from heat.
8. Plate the dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Pair with fluffy steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Helpful Tips

• Beef slices: For easier slicing, freeze the beef for about 30 minutes before cutting.
• Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or snap peas for extra nutrients and flavors.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Substitutions: You can use chicken or tofu instead of beef to cater to different dietary preferences.

Pairings
