Before jumping into cooking, gather all the ingredients. Chop your beef, vegetables, and herbs, ensuring everything is prepped and ready to go. Having everything organized means a smooth cooking process.

In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, it’s time to add our star of the dish—beef!

Add the beef strips to the hot oil, spreading them out in a single layer. Allow them to sear without stirring for about 1-2 minutes to develop a nice brown crust. Then stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through.

Once the beef is cooked, move it to one side of the wok or skillet. In the cleared space, add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, green onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry the vegetables in the center for about 2 minutes. They should remain vibrant and crisp.

Combine the beef back with the vegetables in the wok. Add the soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, fresh ginger, and rice vinegar. Give everything a good toss to ensure it’s well-coated, cooking for an additional 2 minutes, or until the veggies are tender but still have a bit of crunch.

Once everything is combined and heated through, transfer your beef stir-fry to a serving bowl. Grab your rice or noodles, and dig in while it’s hot!
