Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry
Description
Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry features a simple teriyaki sauce made by blending soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, fresh ginger, and garlic, thickened with cornstarch for a balanced savory and sweet flavor. The flank steak is thinly sliced and quickly cooked in avocado oil to retain its tenderness, while vegetables like onion, red pepper, and broccoli are steamed to a crisp-tender texture. The final step combines the steak, vegetables, and sauce for a short simmer that melds the flavors and gives the dish a shiny glaze. Serving this stir fry over steamed white rice and sprinkling with sesame seeds adds extra character and makes it a filling meal. The recipe offers controlled seasoning with salt and pepper and a manageable preparation suited for those familiar with stir-fry techniques.
Ingredients
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce reduced sodium
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated
- 2 garlic grated, cloves
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
For the Stir-Fry:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil divided
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 red pepper thinly sliced
- ½ cup water
- 3 cups broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces, florets
- 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- white rice for serving, steamed
- sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- To make the teriyaki sauce, in a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger and garlic. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and water and whisk until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the tamari mixture, then set aside.
- Add ½ tablespoon avocado oil to a wok or large skillet and set over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add onion and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is lightly browned. Add the broccoli and water, then cover pan tightly and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp tender.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside. Add remaining oil. Once shimmering, add the steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the steak is just cooked through.
- Add sauce and reserved vegetables back to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve over white rice.
