Ingredients

Beef

  • 2 lbs beef steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 8 oz broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into half rings
  • ½ bunch green onions, chopped

Marinade & Cooking Oils

  • 6 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 2 tbsp oil (avocado or olive oil) for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger to create a savory stir fry marinade. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cut Veggies: Chop the red bell pepper into strips, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the onion into half rings, and finely chop the green onions. Having all veggies prepped ensures an efficient cooking process.
  3. Cut Steak: Slice the beef steak thinly against the grain. Thin strips help the meat cook quickly and remain tender during stir-frying.
  4. Cook Veggies: Preheat a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and onion (excluding green onions) to the pan and stir-fry until they turn golden brown and slightly tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  5. Cook Steak: Using the same wok or pan, increase the heat to high, add the sliced steak strips, and cook while stirring frequently until the beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine Together: Return the cooked vegetables and the chopped green onions to the pan with the beef. Pour the reserved marinade over the mixture and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook on low heat for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the stir fry.
  7. Serve: Serve the steak stir fry hot as is or alongside your choice of rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy meal!

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped fresh chili to the marinade.
  • Slicing the beef against the grain ensures tenderness in each bite.
  • Use high heat during cooking to achieve a nice sear and avoid overcooking the vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Feel free to swap beef for chicken, pork, or tofu for variations.
