  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (flank steak or sirloin)
  • 23 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 tbsp oil for cooking
  • Optional: sliced green onions, sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, and black pepper to make the sauce.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear beef slices until just browned, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté bell peppers until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the beef to the pan and pour the sauce over everything. Stir to coat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
  5. Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over warm cooked rice.
  6. Top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • Slice beef against the grain for tenderness.
  • Prep sauce and veggies in advance for quicker cooking.
  • Add mushrooms, broccoli, or snap peas for extra vegetables.
  • Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
