Ingredients
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the beef into thin strips against the grain.
- Chop your onions into thin wedges and slice bell peppers into strips.
- Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
- In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch.
- Mix until every piece of beef is coated and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add sesame oil to the hot pan to coat the bottom.
- Add the marinated beef in a single layer and let it sear without stirring for about 2 minutes.
- Flip the beef strips over and cook for another minute until fully cooked through.
- Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, toss in the onions and bell peppers.
- Stir-fry the vegetables until they soften but still retain their crunch, about 3-4 minutes.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, allow the stir fry to cool completely before sealing the container.
Reheating: Reheat the stir fry in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until warm.
Serving: Serve the stir fry hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, add a splash of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce during the stir-fry process, and consider including other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for added texture and nutrition.
