Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef flank steak or sirloin
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Snap peas
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 Scallions, sliced
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef across the grain into bite-sized strips. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside for later use.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef 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 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrot, snap peas, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared ginger-lime sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately over cooked white or brown rice. Enjoy your Ginger Lime Beef Stir Fry!
