Ingredients
  

Beef and Marinade
  • 1 pound beef top sirloin steak Slice against the grain for tenderness.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Can use gluten-free soy sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided Use for stir-frying.
Vegetables
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the beef into 1/2-inch thick strips across the grain for tenderness.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, white sugar, cornstarch, and ground ginger until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Coat the beef slices thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring even coverage.

  3. Stir in the green bell pepper and continue cooking for 2 minutes until it becomes vibrant and tender.
  4. Add the tomato wedges to the wok and stir everything together to combine the flavors.
  5. Serve the dish immediately, ideally with steamed rice.
