Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs (about 3 cups) beef thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli chopped
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp oil (use one with a high smoke point, like avocado oil)
  • Sesame seeds to garnish

FOR THE BEEF MARINADE:

  • 1 heaping tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice your beef and add to a bowl along with ingredients for the marinade. Mix and set aside for just a few minutes (do not marinate too long or else the baking soda will cause an unpleasant flavor)
  • Start making your sauce with the cornstarch and water first. Whisk until a cornstarch slurry is formed and there are no bumps. Then add in the remaining ingredients for the sauce. Whisk and set aside.
  • Chop your veggies, then heat your pan under medium heat until very hot.
  • Add oil to pan and cook your beef. Once beef is just cooked, add in your veggies and sauce until everything is coated with the sauce.
  • Add in about 1/4 cup of water to the pan and top with lid ajar for about 2 minutes so the broccoli can cook. Give everything a final mix, then take off the heat.
  • Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
