Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 carrot
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into strips. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth to create the marinade and sauce.
Pour half of the sauce mixture over the sliced beef and toss to coat. Reserve the other half for later use. Let the beef marinate for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, chop the vegetables: cut broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the reserved sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well coated.
Garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the Soy Sesame Beef Stir Fry over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!
