Ingredients
Scale
1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Prepare the hot honey sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced onion, broccoli florets, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared hot honey sauce over the beef and vegetables.
Toss everything together quickly, cooking for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.
To assemble your quick beef rice bowl, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the hot honey beef and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, use actual hot honey instead of mixing honey and sriracha. Adjust the amount of chili sauce to control the heat level.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water to the sauce during the final minute of cooking.
This recipe works well with other quick-cooking vegetables like sliced bell peppers or snap peas.
