Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the sauce.
