Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry:
-
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
-
1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating)
-
1 tsp cornstarch
-
1 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 cup broccoli florets
-
1 cup snap peas or green beans
-
1/2 carrot, julienned
-
1/2 onion, sliced
For the Sauce:
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp oyster sauce
-
1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional for sweetness)
-
1 tsp sesame oil
-
1/2 tsp grated ginger
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp cornstarch
-
1/4 cup water or low-sodium beef broth
Instructions
-
Marinate the beef: In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set aside for 10–15 minutes while prepping the veggies and sauce.
-
Make the stir-fry sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and broth.
-
Cook the beef: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil, then beef. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but not overcooked. Remove and set aside.
-
Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry broccoli, carrots, onion, bell pepper, and snap peas for 3–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
-
Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss to coat. Stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
-
Serve immediately over rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
