👩🍳 Instructions
1
If using steak, slice against the grain into thin strips. Pat dry. In a medium bowl, toss meat with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and sriracha. Set aside. In a separate tiny bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry.
3
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add seasoned meat in batches if needed, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove meat and set aside.
4
Add sesame oil to the same skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Add broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Then add mushrooms, snap peas, and shredded carrots. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6
Return cooked meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Whisk the prepared sauce again, then pour over the meat and vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer.
7
Stir the cornstarch slurry, then slowly pour into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
8
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, green onions, or cilantro, if desired.
💡 Notes
For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. This dish is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Customize vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference. For extra heat, increase sriracha or add red pepper flakes.
