- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- 2 to 2½ teaspoons Chef Bae Seasoning
- Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Sauce:
- ¾ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- For serving:
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sliced beef in a bowl and season with Chef Bae Seasoning. Toss to coat and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, black pepper, and ginger until smooth.
- Return beef to the skillet and pour sauce over everything. Stir to combine and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Serve hot over cooked white rice and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Add mushrooms or snap peas for more vegetables.
- Spice it up with red pepper flakes or chili sauce.
- Swap white rice for brown or jasmine rice.
