Easy Beef Stir Fry Recipe

If you want a delicious weeknight meal for the family, then this amazing beef stir fry loaded with vegetables and a homemade sauce comes together in under 30 minutes.

Stir Fry is a great last-minute option during the week since a lot of ingredients can already be found in your cupboards. In addition, beef stir fry is always a family favorite and comes together in no time and it’s a great way to get your children to eat vegetables.

Ingredients for this recipe:

For the Beef:

• 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak
• 3 finely minced cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon peeled finely grated fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons canola oil

For the Vegetables and Sauce:

• 2 seeded and thickly sliced red bell peppers
• 1 cup julienne shiitake mushrooms
• ½ peeled thinly sliced yellow onion
• 4 green onions cut into 2” long pieces
• 2 heads of trimmed broccoli
• ½ cup matchstick carrots
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry wine
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Serves 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Procedures:

1. Add the sliced beef, salt and pepper, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, egg, and corn starch to a bowl and mix until completely combined.
2. Next, add 3 tablespoons of canola oil to a large wok over high heat.
3. Once it begins to roll smoke add in the beef and immediately move it up the sides of the pan so that it doesn’t clump, and all of the pieces can get cooked.
4. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes and set aside.
5. Add 3 tablespoons of canola oil to wok and return it to the burner over high heat until it rolls smoke again.
6. Add in the bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and green onions and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until a light sear has been created.
7. Add the broccoli and carrots to a separate large pot of boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
8. Pour the oyster sauce, sherry, sugar and soy sauce to the wok with stir fried vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly.
9. Add the boiled broccoli and carrots to the wok along with the cooked beef and mix until combined.
10. Serve the beef stir fry with jasmine rice and add on optional garnishes of sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

CHEF NOTES:

I can’t stress enough to use ingredients you like as the stir fry sauce will complement the just about anything.
To keep this recipe completely vegetarian, do not use the oyster sauce.
No matter what cut of beef you select; It should be thinly sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Mirin or rice wine would be preferred over sherry wine if you can find it.
I recommend using an oil with a high smoking point like canola or vegetable oil.

Watched about 20 beef stir fry videos today to find the best one. Not looking for best recipes necessarily, just good instruction. This is by far the best.

So I’m 26 a few days from 27 literally. It’s my first time living without a spouse or parents that can cook for me and learning how to cook and then tasting the love and effort you put into your own meal is amazing !

I trained as a chef in Athenry hotel training school in Ireland in 1970. I worked in a few hotels.I wish I had known you back then. I would’ve stayed in the business. You make cooking fun enjoyable easy, and for that I am very grateful.
I think Italians are great :-)

I cooked this tonight and it tasted amazing! I just got into cooking my own food so I had to watch the video closely. Happy to say I think I got the stir fry perfect! Still can't believe I was able to cook this myself. Thank you for the vid. I will definitely make this stir fry again in the future!

I just made this but with no carrots and broccoli, I used bok choy instead. better than take out. That sauce goes to a different place in your body. It's so good.

WE "stir-fry" weekly!😄 Thanks a bunch for this technique 😀! We put baking soda in the marinade to help brown quickly and tenderize the meat😉. Also avocado oil is or preferences. Keep it real and delish😎!

Hey chef I’ve got to tell you, I just watched the orange chicken video I’ve been following you about a year and a half clicked on this suggested video…WOW your presentation growth since this video is amazing. I’m glad I found you a few years after this video was made. You are absolutely one of the best chefs to watch on YouTube now.

Over the weekend, my partner requested stir fry, so I used your recipe. It was a success! He really liked it and asked me to make it again. I was surprised to find that my usual store was out of flank steak, so I quickly went to Trader Joe's and picked up one of their rib-eye steaks (the shrink-wrapped option, which is a little cheaper) and proceeded as usual.
