Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, and water to create your stir fry sauce. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef strips. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but not overcooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and stir briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the beef and veggies, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Add ground ginger and black pepper, continue to stir fry until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well combined, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Give the stir fry one last gentle mix and serve immediately over rice or gluten-free noodles if desired.
