Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 tbsp soy sauce, plus 1/4 cup for sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch, plus 1 tbsp for sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil, plus 1 tsp for sauce
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or other high-heat cooking oil), divided
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (or honey)
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the stir-fry sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 cup beef broth, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the same skillet/wok. Add the sliced onion, broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk (cornstarch settles) and pour it over the beef and vegetables.
7. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your easy minute meal!
