  • Total Time25 minutes
  • Yield4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lb beef tenderloin
  • 4 oz snow peas
  • 16 oz broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

For the beef marinade:

  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing (Chinese) cooking wine
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup light low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup Shaoxing (Chinese) cooking wine
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 4 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the beef tenderloin and remove any excess fat. Place the beef and marinade ingredients in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the beef in a wok (paid link) or skillet at high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Add all sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk (paid link) together. Set this to the side.
  4. Heat oil in a wok (paid link) over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli first, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Add the snow peas and red bell pepper strips to the wok (paid link). Stir-fry everything together for another 2 to 3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and the vegetables are crisp-tender. 
  5. Lower the heat and add the beef and sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes and serve.

Notes

If you prefer softer broccoli, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or broth to the wok (paid link) after adding the bell pepper and snow peas, then cover for 1-2 minutes to let the vegetables steam.
