Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers into thin strips and chop the onion into slices. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the skillet.

  4. 6

    Thicken the Sauce

    Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat, if desired.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
