Ingredients

• 12 oz Lean flank steak
• 3 tsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Add the sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In another small bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the orange sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
