Description

A quick and flavorful beef stir fry with rice, packed with vegetables and coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

  4. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Notes
