Japanese-Style Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Vegetables

A flavorful Japanese-inspired stir-fry featuring tender alcatra beef strips, a colorful mix of broccoli, cabbage, and carrots, infused with garlic, shoyu, and toasted sesame oil, balanced by the mild heat of pimenta dedo de moça and a hint of rice vinegar.

Steps

1. Prepare all vegetables and slice the beef into thin strips. 2. Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. 3. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and chopped pimenta dedo de moça; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. 4. Add the beef strips, stir-frying until browned but still tender, about 3-4 minutes. 5. Add broccoli, cabbage, and carrots; stir-fry for another 4-5 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp. 6. Pour in the shoyu, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil; stir well to coat all ingredients. 7. Season with a pinch of salt to taste, mix well, and cook for an additional minute. 8. Remove from heat and serve immediately, ideally with steamed rice or noodles.
