I'm always in the mood for a good stir-fry recipe, especially if it has beef in it. And even more so when it can be made in under 30 minutes.

The amazing thing is, the entire dish can be made in under 30 minutes. I find the dish fantastic served up over rice. Noodles would be nice too.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 pounds Sirloin cut into thin slices (Always remember to slice against the grain.)
  • 1 teaspoon medium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons oil (I use sauteing oil. You can also use canola or olive.)
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into triangles
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into triangles
  • 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 2 slices ginger, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 handful of bean sprouts
  • 2 medium green onions, chopped
Instructions
  1. Place the beef in a bowl and add in the soy sauces, corn starch, and ground black pepper. Toss and message into the meat. Drizzle the oil in and mix again. Set it aside and allow to marinate for about 10 minutes. 

  2. Add the oil to a pan. Place the beef in before it gets super hot. Stir and fry for a few minutes until it's browned and about 80% cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside in a bowl. 

  3. Add a bit more oil to the same pan and place the onion, garlic, and ginger in. Stir and saute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the onion slightly translucent. 

  4. Add in the bell peppers and the hot chilli flakes. Stir and fry for a minute or two until the pepper become a little soft. 

  5. Place the beef back in along with the bean sprouts and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Toss and stir fry for a minute or two. 

  6. Serve with rice or noodles and enjoy your Tibetan beef stir-fry.
