Instructions

Step 1: Slice 8 ounces beef sirloin against the grain into 1/4-inch-thin strips. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch until evenly coated, then set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add 1 clove minced garlic and 1 teaspoon grated ginger to the hot oil, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 cup broccoli florets and 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers, then stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return beef to the pan, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Toss constantly for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly, then serve immediately.
