Preparation Method Steps:
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the beef slices and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the vegetables according to the ingredient list.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry until cooked to your desired tenderness, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Sauce: Add the soy sauce and honey to the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.
- Cook the Beef: In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add the beef strips to the pan and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine the Stir-Fry and Beef: Transfer the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook until heated through, about 1 minute more.
