Ingredients:
1 lb beef sirloin, sliced thinly

1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch (optional for thickening)
2 garlic cloves, minced

Marinate beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and garlic for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan.

Add the beef back in and mix everything together. If desired, add cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water to thicken the sauce.
Multi-Day Use REcipe:
Recipe 1: Wrap It Up
Use the leftover stir-fry to make wraps. Take large lettuce leaves or whole grain tortillas, and fill them with the beef and vegetable mix. Add fresh veggies like cucumbers, carrots, or bell peppers for crunch. Drizzle with a bit of hoisin sauce or sriracha for added flavor.
Recipe 2: Salad Bowl
Create a hearty salad by tossing the leftovers with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with sesame dressing or a light vinaigrette for a refreshing meal.
Recipe 3: Soup It
Transform the stir-fry into a soup by adding it to chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and add some rice noodles or other grains for a warming dish.
Recipe 4: Fried Rice
In a pan, heat some oil and add cooked rice. Stir in the leftover stir-fry and cook until heated through. Add an egg or two for extra protein, and season with soy sauce to taste.
