Ingredients

Units Scale

Beef and Marinade

  • 1 lb 450g beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • minced garlic
  • grated ginger

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 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)

Serving

  • Steamed rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness. If you have time, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15–30 minutes for added flavor.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Heat the Pan: 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.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: 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.
  5. Add the Snap Peas: Add the snap peas to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Combine the Beef and Sauce: 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.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve over steamed rice or enjoy it on its own.

Notes

  • If you have time, marinate the beef for 15-30 minutes to enhance flavor.
  • Sesame seeds are optional for garnish but add a nice crunch and flavor.
  • Serve over steamed rice for a complete meal.
