Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef flank steak or sirloin
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 Scallions, sliced
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef across the grain into bite-sized strips. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside for later use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, snap peas, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared ginger-lime sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately over cooked white or brown rice. Enjoy your Ginger Lime Beef Stir Fry!
