Ingredients:
- 2 boneless beef sirloin steaks
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 assorted bell peppers (preferably different colors)
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions:
-
Slice beef into thin strips: Start by cutting the boneless beef sirloin steaks into thin, bite-sized strips. This will ensure quick and even cooking, resulting in tender beef in every bite.
-
Slice peppers into thin strips: Prepare the assorted bell peppers by slicing them into thin strips. Using a variety of colors not only adds flavor but also enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
-
Stir fry beef: Heat a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips and stir-fry them until they are browned and any juices have evaporated. This step helps to seal in the juices and develop a delicious caramelized crust on the beef.
-
Prepare cornstarch mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic powder. Mix well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. This mixture will form a thick, flavorful sauce that coats the beef and peppers.
-
Add peppers to the wok: Once the beef is browned, add the sliced peppers to the skillet or wok. Stir-fry them along with the beef until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
-
Incorporate cornstarch mixture: Pour the prepared cornstarch mixture over the beef and peppers in the wok. Stir continuously to ensure that the sauce is evenly distributed and coats all the ingredients.
-
Thicken sauce: Continue to cook and stir until the sauce comes to a gentle boil and thickens. This will only take a few minutes, and you’ll notice the sauce becoming glossy and coating the beef and peppers beautifully.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the peppers have softened to your liking, it’s time to serve! Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over a bed of cooked rice and enjoy the burst of flavors and colors in every mouthful.
