Instructions

Brown Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Remove beef and drain excess grease.
Sauté Vegetables: Add remaining olive oil to the saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and snap peas. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring often.
Make Sauce: While vegetables cook, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and arrowroot powder in a separate bowl.
Combine and Simmer: Add cooked beef back to the saucepan with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens, about 6-7 minutes.
Serve: Serve the beef and vegetable mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
If you don’t have arrowroot powder, you can use cornstarch as a thickener.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as mushrooms or carrots.
For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes to the sauce.
