Ingredients
- 8 oz of lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 8 oz of whole-grain pasta
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the whole-grain pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the spring onions and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked pasta and pour in the soy sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
- Season and Serve: Season the stir fry with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Serve hot, garnished with additional spring onions if desired.
