Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, thinly sliced across the grain
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Slice beef into thin 1/2-inch strips across the grain for tenderness.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ground ginger until smooth and dissolved.
  3. Add beef to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Sear beef in batches for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and stir-fry red onion for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Add green bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Return beef to the wok, add tomato wedges, and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and release juices.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly and across the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use fresh ginger instead of ground for a bolder flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing beef to avoid steaming.
  • Add water while reheating if the sauce thickens too much.
