Ingredients

• 500 g beef flank steak
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 200 g broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 50 g green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 3 tbsp water
• 50 g unsalted roasted cashews (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the strips in a bowl and combine with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well, cover, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha sauce, water, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and 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 minced garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, carrots, and half of the green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly and allow the sauce to thicken for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Garnish with the remaining green onions and roasted cashews, if using.

Step 8

Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
