Beef and Veggie Stir-Fry

1.Prepare the beef by patting it dry with paper towels and seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

3.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4.Add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked through. Remove beef from wok and set aside.

5.Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6.Add the broccoli florets, snap peas, julienned carrot, and sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender but still vibrant in color.

7.Return the beef to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine.

8.Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through.

9.Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

10.Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green parts of green onions and toasted sesame seeds if using.

11.Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
