Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb beef, sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F, ensuring the surface is evenly heated.
- Drop 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon minced ginger into the hot oil, stirring continuously for exactly 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Carefully add 1 lb sliced beef to the skillet, spreading pieces in a single layer so each slice browns evenly for 3-4 minutes.
- Toss 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) into the skillet, rapidly moving them around to prevent burning for exactly 3 minutes.
- Pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce across the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat every piece completely for an additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the mixture, gently folding to distribute seasoning throughout the dish.
- Transfer the stir fry immediately to a warm serving plate, ensuring you capture all the savory juices from the pan.
Notes
- Choose a high-heat tolerant oil like peanut or vegetable for the best sear on your beef.
- Cut beef against the grain into thin, even slices to ensure tenderness and quick cooking.
- Keep vegetables crisp by adding them later in the cooking process and avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
