Ingredients
  

For the Beef

  • 1 lb flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye thinly sliced

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce add saltiness and umami flavor
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce provides sweetness and depth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil adds a nutty flavor
  • 1 tablespoon honey sweetens the sauce

For the Aromatics

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated

For the Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir frying
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • ½ cup snap peas ends trimmed

For Garnishing

  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional

For Serving

  • steamed rice optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thinly slice your beef against the grain, enhancing tenderness. For extra flavor, marinate in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for about 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set this vibrant concoction aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes until a lovely crust forms, then remove it from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender yet still crisp.
  • Toss in the snap peas and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the seared beef to the pan, pour the prepared sauce over everything, and mix gently until everything is evenly coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with fresh green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or savor it alone.

Notes

Optional: Dust with extra sesame seeds for an appealing finish. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
