Instructions

Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the beef with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, beef broth, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss in the onion, garlic, and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are bright and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and veggies beautifully.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with additional crushed red pepper flakes or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with tofu or tempeh.
For extra heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
Add sautéed mushrooms, snap peas, or baby corn for more flavor and texture.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
