Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon honey
Stir fry
- 1 1/2-2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced, against the grain
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1/2 medium white onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
- 1 green bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups snow peas
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together water, beef broth, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and cornstarch.
- Slice beef thin. Toss with cornstarch.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Pour in sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and add in beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Toss and cook beef until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Work in batches so the pan is not crowded. Set the cooked beef aside as it finishes.
- Add in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, garlic, onion, bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and carrot sticks. Let the veggies sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Once veggies have started to soften, add beef back to the pan with sauce mixture and continue to cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Sauce will thicken.
- Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sliced green onions.
