A delicious and quick Asian Sweet Ginger Beef Stir Fry that combines tender beef with fresh vegetables and a sweet ginger sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the beef to the skillet. In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños during the stir-fry.
- Substitute the flank steak with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
