- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced

- 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Marinate the Beef:
- In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Veggies:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and water. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss everything together. Stir in the green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve:
- Serve the stir fry over steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
