Ingredients

4 ounce sirloin steak (cut into 1/2-inch strips)
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.25 red onion (thinly sliced)
0.5 Roma tomato (cut into wedges)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
0.5 tablespoon red wine vinegar
0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 cup white rice
0.25 cup crispy potato sticks
0.5 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Season beef strips with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking.
Add beef strips to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides but still slightly pink in the center. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
While beef is cooking, prepare white rice according to package directions. In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and ground cumin. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
Add sliced red onion to the same skillet (add a tiny bit more oil if needed). Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add tomato wedges and cook for 1 minute more.
Return the beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, tossing quickly to coat. Cook for 1 minute to heat through and allow sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro, if using.
Serve the beef skillet immediately over hot white rice, topped with crispy potato sticks.

Notes

Using pre-packaged potato sticks makes this meal extra fast. For best results, ensure your skillet is very hot when you sear the beef.
