  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste for spice level)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Toss the beef slices in cornstarch until well coated. This helps give the beef a crispy texture once cooked.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, chili paste, and water. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
  5. Combine and Cook: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables.

Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Adjust chili paste to control spiciness.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer.
