Ingredients
- 1 lb beef, cubed or sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, julienned
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)
- 1 tbsp Chief Brand All Purpose Seasoning
- 1 tsp Chief Brand Geera (Cumin) Powder
- ½ tsp Chief Brand Black Pepper Powder
- 2 tbsp Chief Brand Soy Sauce
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water (for thickening the sauce)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the Beef: In a bowl, toss the cubed or sliced beef with Chief Brand All Purpose Seasoning, Chief Brand Geera (Cumin) Powder, Chief Brand Black Pepper Powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Beef: Add the seasoned beef to the pan and cook until it is browned on all sides.
- Add the Vegetables: Add the green bell pepper, carrot, and mixed vegetables to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Create the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Chief Brand Soy Sauce and mix everything together.
- Thicken (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, now is the time to pour in the cornstarch mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot.
Tips and Serving Suggestions
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a few dashes of Chief Brand Hot Sauce at the end.
- This dish is best served over a bed of fluffy white rice, or even with noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
