Ingredients

• 200 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 cup Broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Sugar snap peas
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Cooked brown rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 7

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately, with cooked brown rice if desired.
