Step 1
Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin steak thinly against the grain. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 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
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil, then the 2 sliced bell peppers, 1 sliced onion, and 1 julienned carrot. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the 3 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the meat and vegetables. Serve hot.
