Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry
Description
Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry pairs thin slices of flank steak with a medley of vegetables such as broccoli and bell peppers. The beef is seasoned and cooked on high heat to develop a seared exterior while staying tender inside. The vegetables are cooked until just softened but still crisp, then combined with a homemade teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and toasted sesame oil. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce, ensuring it clings to the meat and vegetables.
The stir-fry technique preserves the bright flavors and textures of the ingredients while delivering a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile characteristic of teriyaki. The dish is garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and aroma. It serves well as a main course accompanied by steamed rice or noodles.
Ingredients
For the stir fry
- 1 1/4 lbs flank steak thinly sliced; or sirloin
- 3 cups mixed vegetables I used broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- green onion sliced, for garnish
- sesame seed sliced, for garnish
For the sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 tablespoon corn starch 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- For the sauce: Place the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and sesame oil in a small pot over medium high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.
- For the stir fry: Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables have started to brown and soften.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, until water has evaporated. When your vegetables are crisp tender remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan over high heat.
- Place half of the steak in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through.
- Set the first batch of steak aside and repeat the process with the rest of the beef.
- Add all of the meat and vegetables back to the pan. Pour the sauce over the top and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat until warmed through.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
