Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.33 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 4 cups cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain and place the slices in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the steak and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and orange zest. This will be your sauce.

Step 3

Prepare all vegetables: thinly slice the red bell pepper, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, peel and julienne the carrot, and chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated flank steak in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Add the steak back into the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef and vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over cooked white rice for a vibrant and flavorful meal.
