- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tbsp water (if using cornstarch)
- Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- :
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using). Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine the Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the top and stir well to combine. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated the beef and veggies.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
