Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced into 2inch (5 cm) longstrips
  • 1 1/2 cups (4 1/2 oz) broccoli florets
  • 1 (5 oz) red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup (4 oz) matchstick carrots

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon store-bought or homemade sriracha

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add beef and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to move the beef to a bowl.
  • Add broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, and scallion to the skillet. Cook vegetables until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

  • Drizzle with sesame oil and sriracha. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
