Instructions
Prep Ingredients
Thinly slice steak across the grain; set aside.
Mince 1 clove garlic and place in a small prep bow. Thinly slice the white potion of the green onions and add to the garlic.
Diagonally slice the green portion of the onions into 1/2-inch pieces and place in another prep bowl.
Slice red bell pepper into thin slices (julienned) and place in a prep bowl; set aside.
Drain baby corn and bean sprouts.
For the sauce, in a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons water and 2 teaspoons corn starch until smooth. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and whisk until combined; set aside.
Stir Fry
Add Thrive Algae Oil to a wok or large cast iron skillet and heat on high. Add the bowl of garlic and onion—it should sizzle immediately—and cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring frequently. Add baby corn and the sauce and cook until thickened. Stir in the bean sprouts.
Remove from heat and serve over lo mein noodles or rice and garnish with the remaining bean sprouts, green onions, and sesame seeds, if desired.
