Ingredients

  • 2½ pounds flank or flat iron steak cut into ¼ inch thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 cup Snow peas
  • 1-2 baby bok choy bunches
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sambal
  • ¼ cup beef or chicken broth
  • 4 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1-2 inch piece of ginger peeled and minced
  • green onions thinly sliced (optional)
  • fresh parsley finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Season the Strips of steak with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium sized bowl mix together soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch until combined. Add in steak and toss until all of the meat is evenly coated with the marinade. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet (or wok) over high heat. Once oil is smoking add steak in small batches at a time to avoid crowding. Cook the steak until slightly crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch) stirring frequently then remove from pan. Once all steak is cooked allow the pan to cool.
  4. Add in the broth, butter, garlic, ginger, and sambal over medium heat bringing the garlic butter sauce to a simmer. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until garlic and ginger are fragrant. Add in bok choy and snow peas and cook for 2 minutes. Return steak to pan and toss everything together along with green onions and fresh parsley. Serve warm warm as is or over steamed rice.

Notes

  • To get steak really thin, place the entire cut of meat in the freezer for an our or two before slicing and be sure to use a sharp knife.

  • For this steak stir fry sauce recipe, you'll be making a quick marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch. That's going to infuse the steak with flavor and the cornstarch is going to act as a thickening agent to give the sauce a perfect texture.
  • If you want a veggie stir fry, you can still use this recipe. The beauty to a stir fry is you can add almost anything in there! I love to put whatever veggies are in my fridge that are on their last leg. Snap or Snow peas, Boy Choy, Carrots work, leftover asparagus, you get the idea. Anything to give it a give pop of color. The veggies will remain crisp since they're only being cooked for a few hot moments at high heat.
  • The sambal, garlic and ginger are 3 ingredients not to be missed! The sambal adds a subtle spice to the steak stir fry but it's not overpowering if you're making this for kiddos! The garlic and the ginger amp up all the flavor and the result is the most perfect Garlic Ginger Steak Stir Fry you'll ever make! PROMISE! If you want a noodle dish to serve alongside dish, these sesame ginger noodles make the perfect match!
