Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced
- 2 sweet potatoes, spiralized
- 2 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by thinly slicing beef sirloin against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Spiralize sweet potatoes into long noodle-like strands using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler.
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil to create a marinade. Add sliced beef and let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature to enhance flavor absorption.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil and wait until it shimmers. Quickly stir-fry marinated beef in batches to ensure proper searing, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove beef and set aside.
- In the same pan, add sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Add sweet potato noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing continuously to prevent sticking.
- Return beef to the pan, mix thoroughly with sweet potato noodles and peppers. Cook for additional 2 minutes to reheat beef and integrate flavors.
- Plate the dish and garnish with finely chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the vibrant, nutritious meal.
Tips
- Slice the beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Let the beef marinate for the full 10 minutes to allow the ginger and garlic to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to achieve a perfect sear on the beef without overcooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking beef – work in batches to ensure each piece gets a beautiful golden-brown exterior.
- For extra crispness, pat the beef dry with paper towels before marinating to help achieve better browning.
- If you don't have a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler can create similar sweet potato noodle strands.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture of the sweet potato noodles and beef.
