Ingredients

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon honey
Stir fry:
• 1 1/2-2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced, against the grain
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil divided
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1/2 medium onion sliced
• 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
• 1 green bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups snow peas
• 1 cup matchstick carrots
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• Sesame seeds to garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl whisk together water, chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and cornstarch.
2. Slice beef thin. Toss with cornstarch.
3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Pour in sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and add in beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Toss and cook beef until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Work in batches so the pan is not crowded. Set the cooked beef aside as it finishes.
5. Add in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, garlic, onion, bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and carrot sticks. Let the veggies sauté for another 5 minutes.
6. Once veggies have started to soften, add beef back to the pan with sauce mixture and continue to cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Sauce will thicken.
7. Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sliced green onions.
