  • 1 whole Red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 whole Yellow bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 whole Green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 whole White onion sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil divided
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced

  • 1/2 cup Beef broth low sodium
  • 4 cups White rice cooked, for serving

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain and toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Slice all bell peppers and the white onion into even strips. Mince garlic and ginger.
