**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb lean beef, thinly sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
– 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked brown rice for serving
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, rice vinegar, honey, and set aside.
2. **Marinate the Beef:** In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavor.
3. **Cook the Vegetables:** Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. **Add the Beef:** Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer to ensure each slice cooks evenly. Let it sear for 1-2 minutes without stirring to develop a nice crust. Then, stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
5. **Cook the Vegetables:** In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and broccoli. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
6. **Combine the Ingredients:** Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
7. **Serve:** Remove the skillet from heat and let the stir fry sit for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the low-fat beef stir fry over a bed of cooked brown rice, garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
