    1

    Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the chicken breast and beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1 inch long.

    2

    Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

    3

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

    4

    Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

    5

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the chicken strips. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

    6

    Add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

    7

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.

    8

    While stir-frying, prepare the rice according to package instructions, usually taking around 20 minutes.

    9

    Once everything is mixed well and heated through, serve the stir-fry over a bed of rice and enjoy your delicious meal!

Important Tips

  • Marinate the meats in soy sauce for 15 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
  • Use a high heat to achieve a good sear on the meats, which locks in juices and adds texture.
