Instructions
Marinating the Beef
- In a bowl, place the beef strips and add the olive oil, salt, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic granules, allspice, dried thyme or oregano, cumin powder, ground nutmeg, and smoked paprika.
- Mix them all thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated. and then add the sirloin steak strips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to let the flavors infuse into the meat.
Stir Frying the Beef and Vegetables
- Heat vegetable or sunflower oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak strips from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid.
- Add the marinated steak strips to the hot oil and cook them until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside. If necessary, do it in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, as well as the sliced onion. Sauté them until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the finely chopped garlic, tomato paste, sliced chili, and finely chopped ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture for about a minute to release the flavors.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet and mix it with the sautéed vegetable mixture.
- Add the sliced spring onions, soy sauce, and beef stock to the skillet. Stir everything together to coat the steak and vegetables with the delicious sauce.
- Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.

Notes
- Don't skip marinating the steak! Allow it to marinate in the flavorful blend of spices for at least 30 minutes, or even longer for more intense flavors.
- Opt for sirloin or top-round cuts for the best results. These cuts require longer cooking, allowing the flavors to develop fully and ensuring the steak becomes tender and juicy.
- When stir-frying the steak, use a hot skillet or wok with high heat. This quick searing process seals in the juices and creates a beautiful brown crust.
- Adjust the spice level according to your preference. If you prefer, use scotch bonnet pepper for an extra kick!
- Avoid overcooking the steak and vegetables to maintain their tenderness and flavor. Aim for a perfect balance with tender steak and crisp-tender vegetables.
- The leftovers would keep for up to 5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
