Ingredients

• 450 grams beef sirloin
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained or fresh)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.

Step 2

Deseed and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion into thin wedges. Drain the pineapple chunks if using canned pineapple.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they are slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat evenly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the tropical beef skillet warm over steamed rice or noodles.
