Description
A quick and flavorful beef stir fry featuring tender strips of flank steak and vibrant vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin (sliced into strips)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for tenderizing)
- 2 cups bell peppers (sliced, any color)
- 1 cup broccoli (cut into florets)
- 1 cup carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients—slice the beef strips and chop the vegetables. Make sure everything is ready to go; this makes the cooking process smooth and quick.
- In a bowl, mix the beef strips with soy sauce and cornstarch. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep your veggies for extra flavor.
- Place a large skillet or wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Allow it to get very hot, which will help sear the beef and lock in juices.
- Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, until browned. Stir-fry until cooked through and no longer pink, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Push the beef to one side of the skillet, then add minced garlic and ginger to the empty side. Sauté for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
- Toss in the bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snow peas. Stir everything together and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender but still vibrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil and rice vinegar. Pour the sauce over the stir fry and mix well to coat all the ingredients.
- Transfer the Beef Stir Fry to a serving platter, adding optional toppings like sesame seeds and green onions for an extra touch of flavor.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning and ingredients based on your personal taste preferences.
