Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the beef sirloin is cut into 2-inch strips and vegetables are prepped as described.
Heat Oil and Cook Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Push the beef to one side of the wok. Place broccoli florets, bell pepper matchsticks, sliced carrots, chopped green onions, and minced garlic in the center. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly but retain crunch.
Combine and Season: Stir the beef back into the vegetables. Add soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds, mixing everything thoroughly. Continue cooking and stirring for about 2 more minutes until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve the stir-fry hot. Enjoy your quick, nutrient-packed meal!

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
Feel free to swap out vegetables depending on what’s in season or available.
Using a wok helps achieve even high-heat cooking and tossing, but a large skillet works well too.
Toast sesame seeds beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor.
Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
