Ingredients
  • 4 oz beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup snap peas
  • 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for thickening, optional)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, to serve (optional)
Instructions
  1. Prepare Your IngredientsA neatly organized wooden cutting board with sliced beef strips, broccoli florets, thinly sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, sliced onion, and minced garlic, with small bowls of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil on the side, ready for cooking

    Ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This recipe comes together quickly, so having everything sliced, minced, and measured in advance is key.

  2. Marinate the Beef

    In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with half of the soy sauce, the oyster sauce (if using), and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

  3. Cook the Vegetables

    Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, toss in the broccoli, red bell pepper, snap peas, and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp. Add the minced garlic and stir for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.

  4. Sear the Beef

    In the same pan, add the marinated beef strips. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the beef is browned and cooked through.

  5. Combine and FinishA wok with beef strips, colorful vegetables, and sauce being stirred together, the sauce thickening and coating the ingredients, creating a glossy and vibrant stir-fry.

    Return the vegetables to the pan with the beef. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and the cornstarch slurry (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables.

  6. Serve and Enjoy!A beautifully plated beef stir-fry with vegetables on a white plate, garnished with sesame seeds and a few green onion slices, served with a side of steamed rice, with chopsticks resting beside the plate

Tips for a Perfect Stir-Fry:

  • Cut the beef thinly: This helps it cook quickly and remain tender.
  • Use high heat: Stir-frying is all about cooking fast over high heat, so don’t be afraid to crank it up!
  • Keep it colorful: Feel free to swap in or add your favorite vegetables, like carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
