Ingredients

2 pound beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
0.5 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoon brown sugar
3 package microwaveable brown rice
0.25 cup green onions (chopped)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss thinly sliced beef sirloin with cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
Prepare microwaveable brown rice according to package directions.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and yellow onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in minced garlic and grated fresh ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour sauce over vegetables in the skillet, bringing to a simmer and stirring until slightly thickened.
Return beef to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute more, ensuring beef is heated through.
Serve the fiery ginger beef stir-fry immediately over portions of microwaveable brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. This dish is excellent for meal prep as flavors meld nicely upon reheating.
