The Best Beef Stir Fry Recipe
Description
This beef stir fry begins by thinly slicing flank steak and seasoning it with Asian-inspired spices and brown sugar. The beef is cooked in a hot skillet with neutral oil until browned and cooked through, then removed. Vegetables including sliced carrots, onions, and snow peas are then stir fried until tender-crisp. Garlic is added for aroma and flavor.
The beef is returned to the skillet and combined with the vegetables along with soy sauce and sesame oil to coat everything in a glossy, flavorful sauce. The dish balances sweet, savory, and umami notes with varied textures from tender beef and crunchy vegetables.
Serving the stir fry over white rice rounds out the meal, making it suitable for a quick dinner or weekday meal with a straightforward cooking process and familiar ingredients.
