Ingredients:

– 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, sliced
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1 medium onion, sliced
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
– 3 tablespoons sesame oil
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the beef slices, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers, julienning the carrot, breaking the broccoli into florets, and slicing the onion.

3. Make the Sesame Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.

4. Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

6. Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sesame sauce over the top and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 more minutes.

7. Serve: Sprinkle the stir-fry with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
