Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain to keep it tender, chop your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces, and mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Prepping everything before cooking makes the stir-fry come together quickly.
Marinate the Beef: Combine the beef strips with a little soy sauce and cornstarch, allowing the meat to soak up flavor and tenderize slightly while you prepare the vegetables.
Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then stir-fry the beef until browned but still juicy. Remove it from the pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, toss in garlic and ginger first for flavor, then add your vegetables—cooking just until they’re crisp-tender to retain vibrant color and freshness.
Combine and Sauce It Up: Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce mixture, stirring constantly until everything is coated and the sauce thickens for a glossy finish.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions or sesame seeds on top and serve the Beef Stir-Fry with Vegetables hot alongside steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

Freeze beef thinly sliced to make slicing easier and quicker when ready to cook.
Use high heat for a perfect sear on the beef and quick-cook the vegetables.
Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and browning.
Prep all ingredients in advance since stir-frying moves fast.
Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch, color, and sweetness.
