Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Thinly slice the beef against the grain into strips. This helps make the meat tender.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef, ground cumin, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the beef is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Cook the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to sear. Then, stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

  6. 6

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for another minute to warm through. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot, preferably with steamed rice.
