Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 cups broccoli florets
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
2 tablespoons avocado oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce (sodium-reduced)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Optional: cooked jasmine rice or quinoa for serving
Instructions
Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a bowl; set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until browned.
Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add remaining oil and toss in broccoli, peppers, and carrots; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pan along with the sauce mixture.
Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately over rice or grains if desired.
Notes
Ensure your vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking. Slicing the beef against the grain is crucial for achieving maximum tenderness. Keep the heat high to maintain a crisp texture in the vegetables rather than steaming them.
