450kcal
Ingredients
For the Stir Fry
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, etc.)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the beef is well coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Cooking
- Add the beef to the pan and stir-fry until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan, pour in the oyster sauce, and mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure everything is heated through.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes
Ingredient substitutions: Swap beef sirloin for chicken, tofu, or shrimp for a different protein option. Use whatever mixed vegetables you have on hand—snap peas, zucchini, or snow peas work well too! Optional variations: Try adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and crunch. For spice lovers, a dash of red pepper flakes can elevate the dish. Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for quick meals or in a pan for an even better texture.
