Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean sirloin beef, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha or another hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Brown rice, cooked (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, sriracha, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth, then add 2 tablespoons of water. Set the sauce aside.

Step 2

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Remove the stir-fry from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 6

Serve hot, either on its own or over a bed of cooked brown rice for a heart-healthy carbohydrate option.
