Ingredients

• 8 ounces Plant-based beef (soy- or pea-protein-based)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 medium Carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of water with the cornstarch to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 2

In another small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the plant-based beef to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add onions, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp yet tender.

Step 7

Add snow peas and mushrooms, and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked plant-based beef to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir everything together.

Step 9

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and mix well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the vegetables and plant-based beef.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles.
