Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Vegetables:

  • 12 oz flank (thinly sliced, sirloin also works great)
  • 1/2 white onion (sliced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (peeled and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup baby carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups napa cabbage (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (thinly chopped, for garnish)

For the Sesame Ginger Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (peeled and minced)

Instructions
 

  • Prep Before You Sizzle: Slice your beef and chop your veggies. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set it aside. Meal prep rule #1: Mise en place = peace of mind.
  • Sear That Beef: Heat a skillet on high, drizzle in some olive oil, and toss in the beef. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  • Flavor Boost: Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Stir for about a minute until fragrant and slightly softened. Your kitchen will smell amazing.
  • Veggies + Sauce = Magic: Add the carrots and napa cabbage. Stir until they soften. Then, pour in your homemade sesame ginger sauce. Stir well to coat everything and let it cook until the sauce thickens and clings to every bite.
  • Garnish & Go: Top with chopped green onions and give it one final toss. Boom—done!
