Beef and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry

Step 1

In a bowl, toss the 1 lb beef slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the 1 cubed eggplant and 2 sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Return the beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the ingredients and the beef is heated through.

Step 6

Serve hot over rice or noodles.
