minutesIngredients
1 pound beef sirloin
0.5 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
0.25 cup vinegar
1 large red bell pepper
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
Directions
- Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about a quarter-inch thick, which helps the meat cook faster and absorb flavors.
- In a medium-sized bowl, coat the beef strips with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well-covered to get the desired crispiness.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir-fry the beef for about 5 minutes until browned and crispy.
- In another medium bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and chili flakes to create a tangy, slightly spicy sauce for the beef.
- Add sliced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the beef and continue to stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until veggies soften.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the sautéed beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat, then cook for another 3 minutes until thickened.
