Ingredients
- 500 g beef flank steak
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 200 g broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 50 g green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 3 tbsp water
- 50 g unsalted roasted cashews (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the strips in a bowl and combine with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well, cover, and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha sauce, water, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, carrots, and half of the green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly and allow the sauce to thicken for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Garnish with the remaining green onions and roasted cashews, if using.
Step 8
Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
