Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of thinly sliced beef sirloin, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 chopped green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef sirloin, soy sauce, and minced ginger. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- While the beef is marinating, wash and slice the bell pepper and mushrooms. Also, chop the green onions and set them aside for later use.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, add the chopped green onions to the skillet and give everything a good stir. Cook for another minute to warm the green onions through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Ginger Beef with Peppers and Mushrooms hot, either on its own or over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Tips
- Slice the beef when it's slightly frozen for more precise, thin cuts that cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the beef for maximum flavor – the longer it sits in the soy sauce and ginger, the more delicious it becomes.
- Use a high-heat cooking method like stir-frying to achieve that perfect caramelization and seal in the meat's juices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef – cook in batches if necessary to ensure each piece browns nicely.
- For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to customize the dish.
- Let the beef rest for a minute after cooking to help retain its juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature – this dish is best enjoyed piping hot!
