Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and keep it warm. This step ensures that the pasta retains its delicate texture and complements the beef mixture perfectly.

Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and top round steaks. For easier slicing, partially freeze the beef for about 30 minutes, allowing you to cut it into thin strips against the grain, which maximizes tenderness.
-
Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, reduced sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, balsamic vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set this mixture aside as it will be added to the beef later, bringing all the flavors together.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced fresh ginger, stirring quickly for about 15 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
-
Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped bok choy and sliced red onion to the skillet, stirring and frying for about 1 minute until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same skillet, add the sliced beef in a single layer, allowing it to cook without stirring for a minute. Then, stir-fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Combine Sauce and Beef: Push the cooked beef to the center of the skillet, creating space around the edges. Stir the prepared sauce mixture and pour it into the center of the pan. Cook and stir until the sauce becomes thick and bubbly, which should take about 2 minutes.
-
Finish with Vegetables: Return the sautéed bok choy and red onion to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the beef and vegetables are well coated with the luscious sauce. Cover and cook for an additional minute to heat through.
-
Serve the Dish: Divide the warm angel hair pasta among four plates. Generously top each serving with the honey-balsamic beef mixture, making sure to drizzle any extra sauce over the top for added flavor.
-
Enjoy Immediately: Serve the dish immediately, allowing everyone to savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures that this recipe has to offer.
