  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) 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, divided
  • 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

  1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Optional: marinate with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15–30 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Add snap peas and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  6. Return beef to the pan, add sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve over rice if desired.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for best tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve proper searing.
  • Swap vegetables based on availability or season.
  • Serve with rice, noodles, or enjoy on its own.
