Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Chop your vegetables to ensure even cooking. Mince the ginger and garlic.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and garlic. Adjust to taste.
  3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Cook the Beef: Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
