Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 12 oz sirloin beef strips with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tsp sesame oil, 1.5 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced large carrot, and 1 julienned red bell pepper. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet with vegetables. Add 1/4 cup water and 3 chopped green onions. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens and coats all ingredients.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the stir fry before serving, adding a nutty aroma and subtle crunch.
