Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper julienned
• 1 yellow bell pepper julienned
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 carrot thinly sliced
• 3 green onions chopped (white and green parts separated)
• 1 4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
• 0 none Sesame seeds for garnish
• 0 none Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring to get a nice brown color. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Introduce the julienned bell peppers, snap peas, and carrot into the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are bright and just tender.
5. Return the beef to the pan and mix well with the vegetables. Then, pour the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar over the mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly.
6. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Finally, add the white parts of the green onions and give it one last stir.
