Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and garlic. Add the beef slices, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine: Return the beef to the skillet and mix with the vegetables, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  5. Serve: Place a serving of cooked brown rice in bowls, top with the beef and veggie mixture, and garnish with avocado slices, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
