Quick Beef Stir Fry: A Flavorful Weeknight Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
• Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch, mixing well to coat the meat. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
7. Serve the stir fry over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
