Instructions

Thinly slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.

If you have time, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15–30 minutes for added flavor.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the beef in a single layer and let it sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring.

Once seared, remove the beef and set it aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Add the carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli, and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender but still crisp.

Add the snap peas to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.

Return the beef to the pan along with the pre-made sauce.

Stir everything together, making sure the beef and vegetables are evenly coated.

Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve over steamed rice or enjoy it on its own.
