Ingredients

Scale

Beef Marinade & Sauce

  • 1 lb (450g) beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Stir Fry

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for stir frying)
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

Garnish and Serving

  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Steamed rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness. Optionally, marinate the beef in soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 15–30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside the sauce mixture.
  3. Heat the Pan: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the beef in a single layer and let it sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a crispy crust. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the julienned carrot, thinly sliced bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the Snap Peas: Add the snap peas to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to maintain crispness.
  6. Combine the Beef and Sauce: Return the seared beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Mix well so the beef and vegetables are evenly coated. Cook together for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.
  7. Serve: Remove the stir fry from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately over steamed rice or enjoy on its own for a low-carb option.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinating the beef is recommended but optional.
  • You can swap out vegetables depending on preference or season—mushrooms, zucchini, or baby corn also work well.
  • Adjust the sauce’s sweetness or saltiness by modifying the honey or soy sauce quantities to suit your taste.
  • To keep the beef juicy, avoid overcrowding the pan when searing and cook in batches if needed.
  • This recipe is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
