A quick and nutritious high protein beef stir fry packed with tender beef strips and crisp vegetables, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
1 pound (450 grams) lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 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, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and allow the sauce to slightly thicken.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and toss to coat evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or your choice of side.
