- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced - 2 cups broccoli florets - 1 red bell pepper, sliced - 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup - 1 tablespoon sesame oil - Sesame seeds - Sliced green onions Gather these ingredients before you start cooking. The beef sirloin gives a rich taste, while broccoli and red bell pepper add crunch. The sauce is a sweet mix of soy, honey, and sesame oil. These flavors come together to make a dish that feels both special and quick. The garnishes of sesame seeds and green onions add a lovely touch at the end. Enjoy cooking with these fresh and vibrant ingredients! - Mixing the teriyaki sauce In a small bowl, I mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This sauce brings all the flavors together. It is sweet, salty, and very tasty. Set this bowl aside for later. - Creating the cornstarch slurry In another bowl, I combine the cornstarch and water. This slurry helps thicken the sauce. It is simple but very effective. Make sure to mix it well so there are no lumps. - Searing the beef I heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. If needed, I add a little oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, I add the sliced beef in a single layer. I let it sear for about 2-3 minutes. This browns the beef and locks in flavor. Then, I flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes. After that, I remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside. - Stir-frying the vegetables In the same skillet, I add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. I stir-fry these vegetables for about 5 minutes. They should be tender but still crisp. This step keeps them bright and tasty. - Thickening the sauce Next, I pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce over the veggies. I stir to coat them well. I let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then, I return the beef to the skillet. I add the cornstarch slurry next. I mix everything well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. This thickens the sauce and warms everything through. - Serving suggestions I serve this dish over cooked rice or quinoa. Both are great options. They soak up the tasty sauce well. - Garnishing the dish Finally, I garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. This adds a nice crunch and color. It makes the dish look beautiful too. To get the best sear on the beef, start with a hot skillet. - Cook the beef in a single layer. - Let it sit without moving for 2-3 minutes. - Flip it to brown the other side for 1-2 minutes. For crisp-tender vegetables, stir-fry them quickly. - Use high heat and keep them moving in the pan. - Cook broccoli and bell pepper for about 5 minutes. - Aim for bright colors and a slight crunch. To adjust the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce, add more honey or maple syrup. - Start with 2 tablespoons, then taste and add more if needed. - For a less sweet sauce, reduce the honey to 1 tablespoon. If you want to add spice, consider red pepper flakes or sriracha. - Start with a pinch and adjust to your taste. - This adds warmth without overpowering the dish. For cooking, a large skillet or wok works best. - A wok heats quickly and allows for fast cooking. - A heavy skillet can also give a good sear on the beef. Essential cooking utensils include a wooden spoon and measuring cups. - Use a wooden spoon to stir without scratching the pan. - Measuring cups ensure perfect ingredient amounts for sauce and slurry. {{image_2}} You can switch the beef for chicken or tofu. Both options work great and add new flavors. For veggies, try snap peas or carrots instead of broccoli and red bell pepper. These choices keep your meal fresh and fun. If you're gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. This small change ensures you enjoy the same great taste. For a low-carb meal, skip the rice or quinoa.
