Ingredients
-
1 lb. Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
-
1 ½ Cups broccoli florets
-
1 Cup snow peas, trimmed
-
3 Tbsp. Dark Toasted Japanese Sesame Oil, divided
-
2 Tbsp. Honey Ginger Balsamic
-
2 Tbsp. Soy sauce (low sodium)
-
¼ Cup water
- 2 Tsp. Cornstarch
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice noodles
- Toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes, to garnish (optional)
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Honey Ginger Balsamic, soy sauce, water, cornstarch, and 1 Tbsp. Dark Toasted Japanese Sesame Oil until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon Dark Toasted Japanese Sesame Oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon Dark Toasted Japanese Sesame Oil to the pan. Toss in the broccoli and snow peas. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic, stirring for 30 seconds.
Return the beef to the pan and add red pepper flakes (if using). Give the sauce another stir and pour it in. Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over rice or noodles and top with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
