Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly
Vegetables:
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss 1 lb flank steak slices with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let your meat soak up the flavors for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and slides easily.
- Drop 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 inch grated ginger into the hot oil. Stir constantly for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Transfer marinated steak into the pan, spreading pieces evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing edges to caramelize.
- Flip steak pieces and cook another 1-2 minutes until surfaces turn golden brown and centers remain slightly pink.
- Tumble 2 cups sliced bell peppers and 1 cup broccoli florets into the skillet. Rapidly toss everything together for 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper across the stir fry. Give a final quick stir for 30-45 seconds to blend seasonings.
- Transfer steaming stir fry immediately to a serving plate. Enjoy piping hot alongside steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Ensure your pan is super hot before adding meat to get that perfect golden-brown sear.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain its juices and keep it moist.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce for tamari and use cornstarch carefully to avoid cross-contamination.
