Taiwanese Beef Stir-fry with Satay Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef sirloin with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.

Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the satay sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and heat through.

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
