Ingredients
Beef and Marinade

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Vegetables
- 1 ½ cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure beef is cut into 2-inch strips, vegetables are chopped as specified, and garlic is minced.
- Heat Oil and Brown Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and stir-fry, moving constantly, until beef is browned on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Push the beef to one side of the wok. Add broccoli florets, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, chopped green onion, and minced garlic to the center of the wok.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes, keeping them moving to maintain a crisp texture.
- Combine and Season: Stir the beef back into the vegetables. Add soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds, mixing thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Cook Until Tender: Continue to cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the beef stir-fry hot. Enjoy your quick and flavorful meal!

- For extra heat, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a dash of sriracha sauce.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
- To save time, prepare and chop vegetables ahead of time.
- For a lower-fat version, use a non-stick skillet and reduce oil to 1 tablespoon.
- You can swap sirloin beef with flank steak or ribeye strips for different textures.
