  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 lb beef sirloin (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced, any color)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated or minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Green onions (sliced, for garnish)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Beef

 

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

 

 

Step 2: Cook the Beef

 

  1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir-Fry Beef: Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

 

 

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

 

  1. Add More Oil: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add Zucchini and Bell Pepper: Add the sliced zucchini and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

 

 

Step 4: Combine and Serve

 

  1. Return Beef: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing it with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
  2. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
