Instructions
Prepare the Beef
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari), 1 tsp cornstarch, ground ginger, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop all your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Stir-Fry Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari), beef broth, rice vinegar, brown sugar (or honey), sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside.
Stir-Fry the Beef
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it's shimmering.
Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
Stir-fry the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the harder vegetables like broccoli and carrots first and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
Add the remaining vegetables like bell peppers and snow peas and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp but still have a bit of bite.
Combine and Sauce
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables.
Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Serve
Serve the beef stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.
