Beef Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers, Carrots and Snow Peas
Serves 4
Time 1 hr
Top sirloin steak is one of the leanest cuts of beef available. Keep the meat tender and juicy with this quick-cooking stir-fry packed with veggies and a flavorful marinade. Make sure to slice the steak against the grain to prevent chewiness. To save time, use frozen brown rice instead of cooking rice from scratch.
