Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup rice, cooked
• 1/2 cup broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
3. Add beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute.
5. Add bell pepper and broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

• For a spicier stir-fry, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Use a wok for best results, but a large skillet will also work.
• To store leftovers, cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and refrigerating for up to 3 days.
• Pre-cooking the rice ensures it maintains its texture during stir-frying.
