Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Extra Veggie Steak Stir Fry
  1. Start by placing your steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm it up, making slicing easier. Once chilled, slice the meat thinly against the grain.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh orange juice, honey, cornstarch, and sesame oil until smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in the sliced steak and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil, then sauté the carrots and asparagus for 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and snow peas, and stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant. Return the cooked steak to the skillet.
  6. Pour the stir fry sauce over the steak and vegetables, stirring for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  7. Serve your stir fry on plates and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy over rice or noodles.
