Ingredients:

  • 1 lb sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions:

  1. Slice the steak thinly across the grain to break up muscle fibers.
  2. Toss the beef with the marinade ingredients (soy sauce, cornstarch, baking soda) and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until dissolved.
  4. Heat avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add beef in a single layer, sear for 1–2 minutes without disturbing to form a crust, toss and cook for another minute, then remove from pan.
  6. In the same pan, stir-fry the sliced onions and bell peppers for 3 minutes until edges are slightly charred.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss constantly for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy coating.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve.
