A sirloin stir-fry can go from prep to plate in 25 minutes, according to a recipe that serves four and combines beef with broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, green onion and toasted sesame seeds. The dish calls for 15 minutes of preparation and 10 minutes of cooking in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
The ingredient list includes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 pound beef sirloin cut into 2-inch strips, 1 ½ cups fresh broccoli florets, one red bell pepper cut into matchsticks, two thinly sliced carrots, one chopped green onion, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds.
The method begins by heating the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. The beef is stir-fried until browned, which takes 3 to 4 minutes, then moved to the side of the pan. The broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, green onion and garlic go into the center and cook for 2 minutes before the beef is stirred back in.
Soy sauce and sesame seeds are added at that point, and the mixture continues cooking and stirring until the vegetables are tender, about 2 more minutes. The recipe directs the cook to serve the stir-fry hot.
