Description
Quick, flavorful, and loaded with tender beef and vegetables, this stir fry is a perfect weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- For The Sauce:
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth (or water)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- For The Stir Fry:
- 1 lb skirt steak or flank steak (sliced thin against the grain)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 1 cup red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 cup onion (sliced)
- 2 cups snow peas (trimmed and cut in half)
- Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Prepare the Beef: Slice beef into thin slices against the grain and place in a bowl. Add cornstarch, salt, and pepper, then mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef (cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, then remove to a plate. Repeat until all the beef is cooked.
- Cook the Vegetables: Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add sliced onions and red peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add snow peas and garlic, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Add the cooked beef back into the skillet with the sauce mixture. Toss everything together until combined. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Serve the stir fry over white rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
- Use a skillet that can get very hot, like a cast-iron pan, aluminum pan, or Blackstone grill, for the best results.
- The beef cooks very quickly, about 1-2 minutes on high heat, and will continue to cook in the sauce.
