Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Sugar snap peas
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Cashews
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, cornstarch, and lime juice, then add the sliced steak, coating evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and sugar snap peas. Set them aside.

Step 4

In a large wok or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase heat to high and add marinated beef to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until beef is browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes or until they are tender yet still crisp.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and sesame oil, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Allow it to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, adding in cashews, sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring everything is evenly heated and well combined.

Step 9

Serve the beef stir-fry hot, alongside steamed rice or noodles if desired.
