Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir continuously for another minute.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the beef broth and sugar. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice!
