Equipment

  • Wok or saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce 10ml
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce 15ml
  • ½ cup chicken stock 120ml
  • 1 cup water 240ml
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch 20g
  • 1 pound boneless sirloin tips 450g
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil 15ml
  • 2 large bell peppers red and green
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons paprika 2-4g
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger 1g
  • 1-2 teaspoons Creole Cajun seasoning salt-free, optional
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1-2 green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce adjust to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock, water, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Season the beef in another bowl with a little salt and soy or oyster sauce.
  • Heat the wok or saucepan with about a tablespoon of oil, add meat, and let it set for about 30 seconds before stirring. Cook for 2 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness; remove and keep warm.
  • Stir fry the peppers and onion for two minutes, then add garlic, paprika, ginger, and Creole seasoning (if using) and continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the combined sauce, cook, and stir for about 2 minutes, followed by the beef.
  • Remove from heat, serve over rice, and garnish with green onions. Add hot sauce if desired.

Notes

A wok is perfect for any meat stir fry recipe as it yields perfectly cooked meat and vegetables in no time. You can use just one color of bell pepper, but a few different colors result in more flavorful meat and are more pleasing to the eyes. Adjust the sauce's thickness to your preference by adjusting the amount of cornstarch. This recipe is gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
