A delicious and easy recipe for perfect beef stir-fry, featuring tender beef and vibrant vegetables in a flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (for stir-fry sauce)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for stir-fry sauce)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, optional

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef. Cut the beef into thin strips against the grain to help keep it tender.
  2. Marinate the beef. In a bowl, combine the beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Mix well and let stand for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the sauce. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Sear the beef. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add half the beef in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed.
  5. Cook the vegetables. Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Add aromatics. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Combine everything. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  8. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the beef marinate longer if time allows.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or carrots.
  • Adjust the level of spice by adding chili flakes or fresh chili peppers.
