  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, Snap peas, carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
  • Fresh green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add sliced beef, toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and stir-fry the beef until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add more oil if needed, stir-fry the vegetables until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Optional: add soy or oyster sauce for extra flavor.
  4. Return beef to the pan with vegetables, stir in the cornstarch mixture, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt or additional soy sauce as needed.

Notes

  • Use a hot pan to sear beef and vegetables quickly, locking in flavor and texture.
  • Thinly sliced beef cooks faster and stays tender—consider freezing slightly before slicing.
  • Customize vegetables based on seasonal availability or what you have on hand for best flavor and freshness.
