Ingredients

Units

For the stir-fry:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak (thinly sliced across the grain)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
  • 2 tsp ginger (minced or grated)
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped into large pieces)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 medium carrot (sliced)
  • 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame oil (for finishing (optional))

Instructions

  1. Prep the beef. In a medium bowl, mix the beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, honey, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in an even layer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Flip the pieces and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the outside is browned. It’s okay if the beef isn’t fully cooked yet. Transfer it to a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute. Add broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot; stir-fry 4-5 minutes until tender.
  5. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and all ingredients are fully coated.
  6. Garnish with green onions and drizzle on some extra sesame oil if desired. Serve hot over rice or cauliflower rice.
