1 lb (450g) beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic (1 minced, 1 halved for marinating)

1 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen)
1 carrot
½ cup snap peas
2 green onions (chopped)

Whisk remaining soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and ginger to make sauce
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef 2-3 minutes, then remove
