Description

A flavorful dish combining tender beef and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy weekday dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Szechuan sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the marinated beef and stir fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Return the beef to the pan, add Szechuan sauce, and mix well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  8. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes

Marinate beef longer for deeper flavor absorption. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or mushrooms.
