Deliciously Easy Beef Stir-Fry: A Quick Weeknight Meal for the Whole Family



This flavorful beef stir-fry is incredibly easy to whip up. Perfect for busy parents or anyone craving a delicious meal without spending too much time in the kitchen, this recipe has got you covered.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 broccoli head, cut into florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

  2. Prep the Veggies: While the beef is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, cut the broccoli into florets, and julienne the carrot. Having everything ready to go will make the cooking process much smoother.

  3. Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Serve the beef stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying is all about quick cooking at high heat. Make sure your pan or wok is hot before adding the ingredients to ensure a nice sear and to retain the crispness of the vegetables.

  • Prep Ahead: This recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can marinate the beef and chop the vegetables ahead of time, so when you're ready to cook, everything is ready to go.

  • Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand. Snow peas, mushrooms, and snap peas are all great additions to this stir-fry.

  • Sauce Variations: If you like a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of chili paste or some red pepper flakes to the marinade. For a touch of sweetness, a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar works wonders.

This easy beef stir-fry is sure to become a family favorite. It's quick, healthy, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect weeknight dinner. Plus, with the ability to customize the vegetables and sauce, you can make it your own. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out in the comments below!
