Main Ingredients

  • beef sirloin
  • soy sauce
  • honey
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • vegetable oil
  • red bell pepper
  • broccoli florets
  • water
  • sesame seeds
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain for maximum tenderness. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the red bell pepper. Cutting and measuring everything beforehand makes the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes. This step infuses the meat with flavor and tenderizes it, making the stir fry burst with aroma and taste.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir fry the vegetables until they are vibrant and tender-crisp, which should take about 4-5 minutes. The key here is to keep the vegetables moving in the pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Add the marinated beef to the pan with vegetables. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a bit of water to create more steam and prevent sticking. Ensure that each beef slice is cooked evenly by frequently tossing the mixture.
  • Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry and season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Give the stir fry a final toss to combine all flavors and ingredients harmoniously. The sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and delightful texture to the dish.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply toss in a pan over medium heat until warmed through. Freeze portions for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
