Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak sirloin, or ribeye, thinly sliced2 tablespoons soy sauce1 tablespoon hoisin sauce1 tablespoon sesame oil1 tablespoon honey2 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided1 bell pepper, thinly sliced1 cup broccoli florets1 carrot, julienned1/2 cup snap peas, ends trimmed2 green onions, chopped, for garnish1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional, for garnishSteamed rice, optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain. For extra tenderness, marinate the beef with soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring to allow a crispy crust to form. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan. Toss in the carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli, and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the snap peas and stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together, making sure the sauce coats the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or enjoy on its own.

Notes

Marinating the beef enhances tenderness and flavor but can be skipped if short on time
Keep vegetables slightly crisp for the best texture
Swap vegetables based on what you have: mushrooms, zucchini, or baby corn also work well
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a less salty dish
Leftovers are delicious the next day and reheat well in a skillet or microwave
