Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating a spacious nonstick sauté pan over high heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper according to your preference. Once the pan is adequately heated, introduce 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Proceed by adding the seasoned meat and searing it until achieving a light golden brown color while retaining a slight pink hue at the center, approximately for 4 minutes. Subsequently, carefully transfer the cooked meat onto a plate and cover it loosely with foil to maintain its warmth.

2. 2

   Heat the same pan over high heat and pour in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the onion, broccoli, and cauliflower. Stir-fry these vegetables until they are nearly cooked through, which should take around 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour the Asian sauce into the pan and heat until it starts to simmer. Gently introduce the meat into the pan, allowing it to warm up in the sauce. Once the mixture is heated thoroughly, sprinkle in the fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference before plating and serving.
