Beef Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers and Rice

 

Ingredients:

– 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
– 3 cups cooked white rice
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 small onion, sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
– 1 cup beef broth
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, sliced

 

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well, ensuring all pieces are coated. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes for maximum flavor.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

4. Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger into the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and oyster sauce, stirring everything to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Remove from heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for an extra layer of flavor. Toss everything together to ensure even distribution.

7. Serve the beef stir-fry hot over a generous bed of cooked white rice. Enjoy your vibrant and satisfying meal!
