Ingredients
1½ lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 bell peppers, sliced (red and green, plus yellow if desired)
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or brown sugar substitute)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp cold water)
1 tbsp sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Sear the Beef: Heat the olive or avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes without moving, then stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onions. Stir-fry over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly caramelized on the edges.
3. Add Aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and coconut aminos, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
5. Combine: Return the cooked beef back into the skillet along with its juices, tossing everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
6. Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm!
