Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat some vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant. Then, toss in the sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, add the sliced bell pepper to the wok and stir-fry for a few minutes until slightly tender. In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Pour this sauce over the beef and bell pepper mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.

Now, add in the pineapple chunks and cashews, stirring to combine. Let the stir-fry simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning if needed.
