Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain. Slice the green pepper into strips and the mushrooms thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Pro tip: Ensure the beef is very cold for easier slicing.

Heat the oil

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Pro tip: Use a skillet large enough to avoid overcrowding, which can steam the beef instead of browning it.

Sauté the beef

Add the sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

Pro tip: Do not overcook; the beef should be browned but still juicy.

Add garlic and mushrooms

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes until the mushrooms are golden.

Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

Add green peppers

Stir in the sliced green peppers and cook for 2 more minutes until they are just tender but still crisp.

Pro tip: Avoid overcooking the peppers to maintain their vibrant colour and crunch.

Season and serve

Add soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Serve hot.

Pro tip: Taste and adjust seasoning as desired before serving.
