Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, sesame oil, hoisin, and ginger.

  2. Place steak in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp. broth mixture, stirring to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.

  3. In a 12-inch stainless steel skillet, heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook half of steak until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. (Reduce heat to prevent overbrowning). Transfer steak to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1 tbsp. vegetable oil and remaining steak.

  4. Add bell peppers to skillet; cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add peas and garlic; cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth mixture; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Return steak to skillet; cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately with noodles. Garnish with red pepper and cilantro.
