- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat your skillet or wok over medium-high until hot.
- Combine Ingredients: Toss sliced beef with cornstarch and a tablespoon of soy sauce, letting it sit for 10 minutes.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add a splash of oil to the hot wok, making sure it coats the bottom evenly.
- Assemble the Dish: Stir-fry beef in batches until browned, then remove and set aside.
- Cook to Perfection: Add garlic, ginger, peppers, and broccoli, stir-frying until crisp-tender. Return beef to pan, pour in remaining soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until the sauce thickens and coats everything.

- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the savory beef mixture over bowls of warm rice and dig in immediately.
Notes

- Cook beef in small batches to avoid steaming.
- Taste and adjust the sauce to balance sweetness and heat.
- Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
