Method
 

Prepare the Beef
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
Cook the Rice and Vegetables
  1. While the beef marinates, prepare your rice according to package instructions. Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes). If using frozen edamame, cook according to package directions.
Make the Hot Honey Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the Beef and Assemble Bowls
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches.
  2. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened but still with a bite.
  3. Divide the cooked rice among 4 serving bowls. Arrange the cooked beef, steamed broccoli, edamame, sautéed bell pepper, and red onion over the rice.
  4. Drizzle generously with the prepared Hot Honey Sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the hot honey sauce. You can also customize your veggies with snap peas, shredded carrots, or mushrooms. For meal prep, store components separately and combine just before eating.
