Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄4 cups cold water, divided
  • 1⁄2 cup gluten-free soy sauce, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1⁄4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. stir-fry beef (or boneless round steak, cut into thin 3-inch strips)
  • 2 Tbsp. peanut oil
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 4 cups broccoli florets

Directions

  • In a glass bowl, whisk together 1⁄4 cup water, 1⁄4 cup soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add beef and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan or wok, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and marinade and stir-fry until meat is no longer pink, about 3 to 5 minutes.
