Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Toss well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred), 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken or beef broth, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, and 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar. Set aside.1/4 cup chicken or beef broth, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding). Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Don't overcook; it should be mostly cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or other high-heat oil like canola or avocado), 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or other high-heat oil like canola or avocado), 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 inch ginger, grated or minced
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You want them cooked through but still slightly firm for the best texture.1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup snap peas or snow peas
- Return the seared beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick re-whisk and pour it over the beef and vegetables. Stir everything together to coat evenly.1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain, 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup snap peas or snow peas, 1/4 cup chicken or beef broth, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Continue to cook and stir for another 1-2 minutes as the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients beautifully.
