Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, beef broth, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet.
Pour the prepared sticky garlic sauce over the beef and vegetables.
Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
Check that the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness and safe temperature.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
