Better Than Takeout Beef Stir-Fry
Ready ...in 25 minutes
Makes: 4 Servings

Ingredients:
For the Stir-Fry:
• 1 lb lean sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
• 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
For the Sauce:
• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Instructions
1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. If using cornstarch, add it here. Set aside.
2. Cook the beef: Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Stir-fry the veggies: In the same pan, add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil. Then add the onion, peppers, and broccoli for about 4-5 minutes. Then add garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender.
4. Bring it together: Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce slightly thicken and the flavors meld.
5. Serve: Spoon over cooked brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
