Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Step 1

Slice the red pepper.

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the beef slices and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 8

Add the sliced red pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 10

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables in the skillet.

Step 11

Stir the cornstarch slurry to recombine, then pour it into the skillet.

Step 12

Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Once the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through, remove from heat.

Step 14

Serve hot over rice or noodles.
