For the Stir-Fry

  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) Infuses the dish with aromatic depth.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced) Contributes a warm, spicy note.
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Can be substituted with honey or coconut sugar.
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers (mixed colors) Fresh bell peppers are preferred.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and brown sugar until well combined. Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let the steak marinate for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the marinated steak for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary, then toss in sliced bell peppers and onion, stirring for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then pour into the skillet with the reserved marinade, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked steak back into the skillet with the vegetables and thickened sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
