Vietnamese Stir-Fried Beef and Green Beans

 Ingredients:

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound sirloin tips, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions:

• Combine garlic, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oil, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add sirloin tips; mix well.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat for 1 minute. Add sirloin mixture; cook and stir until beef begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same wok. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Mix in green beans, then pour in broth. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until beans are tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in beef and soy sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
