Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb 450g beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for stir frying)
- 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot (julienned)
- 1/2 cup snap peas (ends trimmed)
- 2 green onions (chopped (for garnish))
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Steamed rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness. If you have time, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 1530 minutes for added flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer. Let it sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring, so it forms a nice crispy crust. Once seared, remove the beef and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender but still crisp.
- Add the snap peas to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.
- Return the beef to the pan along with the pre-made sauce. Stir everything together, making sure the beef and vegetables are evenly coated. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve over steamed rice or enjoy it on its own.
