Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup snow peas
Sauce & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the hot skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until it is nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3–4 minutes, or until they become tender-crisp while retaining their vibrant colors and crunch.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful stir-fry sauce.
- Add sauce to vegetables: Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir well to evenly coat all the veggies with the sauce.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables and sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the ingredients.
- Serve hot: Serve the beef stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles as a delicious and balanced meal.
Notes
- You can substitute beef sirloin with flank steak or ribeye for a richer flavor.
- Add garlic or ginger for extra aroma and taste.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce.
- Adjust the amount of hoisin sauce to control sweetness.
- Serve with steamed jasmine rice or your favorite noodles.
