Ingredients
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 pounds beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced thin
2 cups sliced vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, fresh ginger, chili pepper flakes, and ground cumin until well combined. Set the sauce aside.
Pat the beef slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve better browning.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and cooked through.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the beef and vegetables evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
