  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients (10 minutes): Slice beef and vegetables. Mince garlic and grate ginger.

  3. Stir Fry Veggies (8 minutes): In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and broccoli and stir fry for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the veggies are slightly tender yet still crisp.
  4. Add Flavorings (5 minutes): Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute. Return the beef to the skillet.
  5. Sauce and Serve (5 minutes): Pour the teriyaki sauce and sriracha or chili sauce over the stir fry. Toss well to coat the beef and veggies in the sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
