Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (for slurry)
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil, divided
  • 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients. Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Whisk together soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to create a slurry.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add half the neutral oil. Once hot, add beef in a single layer and sear for 60-90 seconds without moving. Stir-fry until no longer pink, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate.
  3. Add remaining oil to the pan. Add broccoli and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add bell pepper and onion, stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Pour the sauce mixture into the center and bring to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch slurry and slowly drizzle it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook until sauce thickens into a glossy glaze, about 30-60 seconds.
  5. Return the cooked beef and any juices to the pan. Toss everything together until coated in sauce. Heat through for 1 minute.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari. Slice beef against the grain for tenderness. Do not add cornstarch directly to the hot sauce; always make a slurry first. Vegetables can be swapped for snap peas, mushrooms, or zucchini.
