Ingredients
Main
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 3 cups cooked rice
- sesame seeds, for garnish optional
Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sriracha or to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and toss to coat; let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and sriracha in a small bowl.
Cooking
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the broccoli florets and shredded carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water to help steam the vegetables if needed.
Assembly
- Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the cooked beef and stir-fried vegetables.
- Drizzle with the prepared sauce and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the beef for longer, up to 30 minutes. You can customize the vegetables based on your preference, such as adding bell peppers or snap peas.
