Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300g lean beef strips (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1 green bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium onion, sliced into thin wedges
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (natural)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (natural)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (canola or vegetable)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
- 3 tablespoons grape juice
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tender bites. Wash and julienne the bell peppers, slice the onion into thin wedges, mince the garlic, and grate fresh ginger to have everything ready before cooking.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a generous splash of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips and sear quickly until browned on all sides but still juicy inside. Remove and set aside to keep warm.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Toss in garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onions. Stir until fragrant and softened. Add the bell peppers and cook just until tender-crisp to preserve their vibrant color and crunch.
- Make the Sauce and Combine: In a small bowl, whisk together vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), soy sauce (natural), grape juice, and the natural gelling agent. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Simmer briefly until thickened to a glossy glaze. Return the beef to the pan and toss well so all pieces are coated.
- Final Touches: Turn off the heat, sprinkle sliced green onions on top for freshness, give a final toss, and serve your vibrant Pepper Steak Stir Fry.
Notes
