Ingredients 

For the Stir Fry: 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 
  • 1 pound of flank steak, sliced thinly across the grain 
  • 1 medium onion, sliced 
  • 2 cups broccoli, cut into small florets 
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces 

For the Sauce: 

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce 
  • ½ cup water 
  • ¼ cup honey 
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated 
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced 
  • ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar  
  • ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (increase if you prefer more heat) 
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to blend the ingredients. Stir in the cornstarch until it’s completely dissolved. Set the sauce aside. 
  1. Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.  
  1. Cook the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, pour in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper pieces. Stir fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes. 
  1. Combine and Cook: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and vegetables, about 2-3 minutes. 
  1. Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and everything is well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the beef stir fry over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
