How to Make Beef Stir Fry
  1. Combine the sauce: In a bowl, mix the beef broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, chili paste, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic powder, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Stir-fry the vegetables: Heat a skillet over high heat and add a splash of avocado oil. Toss in the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and sugar snap peas, stirring for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
  3. Sear the beef: In the same hot skillet, add another tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the flank steak strips, searing them for 1-2 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another minute.
  4. Mix it all together: Return the stir-fried vegetables to the skillet, then pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve and garnish: Spoon the Beef Stir Fry over warm cooked rice or noodles, then finish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onions.
