Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (steamed or stir-fried)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or sugar snap peas
  • Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (warm)

Instructions

  1. Slice 1 pound of flank steak thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Toss the beef strips in the marinade, coating evenly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature if possible.
  4. Cook 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
  5. Steam or stir-fry 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup snap peas, and 1 medium sliced carrot until crisp-tender. Set aside.
  6. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef strips in a single layer, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Transfer beef back to the pan if cooked in batches. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the remaining marinade and pour over the beef. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  8. Divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with beef and vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Marinate briefly for best flavor but can be skipped if short on time. Cook beef in batches to avoid steaming and get a good sear. Use cornstarch slurry to thicken sauce gradually. Steam or stir-fry vegetables until crisp-tender to maintain color and nutrients. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
