Ingredients That Pack a Punch (and Their Benefits!)

The beauty of this stir-fry lies in its simplicity and fresh, vibrant ingredients. 

What You’ll Need

• Steak: Go for flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye—whatever suits your taste! Steak is a protein powerhouse, packed with iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. 
• Soy Sauce: The umami booster that ties everything together. 
• Garlic and Ginger: These aromatic staples add depth (and come with anti-inflammatory benefits!). 
• Broccoli: Rich in fiber, vitamin C, and calcium—your heart and bones will thank you. 
• Bell Peppers: Add color, crunch, and a dose of vitamins A and C. 
• Carrots: Sweet, crunchy, and loaded with beta-carotene. 
• Snow Peas: Crunchy and refreshing, snow peas elevate this dish while offering vitamin K and folate. 

Pro Tips for Choosing Ingredients

• Steak: Look for marbling (those tiny fat streaks) for maximum tenderness. 
• Veggies: Fresh is best, but frozen works in a pinch. Opt for a mix of colors for a dish that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious. 
• Soy Sauce: Try low-sodium soy sauce if you’re after a lighter option. 

Ingredients: 

• Steak: 1 lb (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain 
• Soy Sauce: 1/4 cup (use low-sodium if preferred) 
• Sesame Oil: 2 tablespoons 
• Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon 
• Honey: 1 tablespoon 
• Garlic: 3 cloves, minced 
• Ginger: 1 tablespoon, minced 
• Broccoli: 2 cups, chopped into florets 
• Bell Peppers: 2, sliced (assorted colors for variety) 
• Carrots: 2, thinly sliced 
• Snow Peas: 1 cup 
• Vegetable or Sesame Oil: For stir-frying 

Instructions: 

1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop the veggies into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic and ginger. 
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, honey, and a splash of water until smooth. 
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the steak in batches to ensure a golden-brown sear. Remove and set aside. 
4. Stir-Fry Veggies: Add the broccoli to the hot skillet first. After a minute, add bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas. Stir-fry quickly to keep them crisp. 
5. Combine: Return the steak to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly. 
6. Customize: Add chili flakes or sriracha for heat, swap steak for chicken, tofu, or shrimp, or serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
