Ingredients:
1: Marinate the Beef 🍖
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes. This will help tenderize the beef and give it a nice coating.
2: Prepare the Sauce 🌟
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, beef broth, and sesame oil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Set aside.
3: Cook the Beef 🍖
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4: Stir-Fry the Vegetables 🧅
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and snap peas or broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5: Combine Beef and Sauce 🍖
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and everything is evenly coated.
