Ingredients

  • For the Stir Fry:
    • 500 g (1 lb) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
    • 2 tbsp cornstarch
    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 cup broccoli florets
    • 1 carrot, julienned
    • 3 spring onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
    • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • For the Sweet Ginger Sauce:
    • 3 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp honey
    • 1 tbsp brown sugar
    • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
    • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced flank steak with cornstarch until coated. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and sear until browned. Set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add to pan and bring to a simmer.
  6. Return beef to the pan, toss to coat, and cook for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Add spring onions and cook for 1 more minute.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly and against the grain for tenderness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing beef — cook in batches.
  • Prep all veggies and sauce ahead for quicker cooking.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Stir-fry on high heat for crisp veggies and great flavor.
