Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef and Vegetables:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef:
    • Slice the beef thinly and toss it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. This helps the beef stay tender and soak up the sauce.
  2. Make the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil (if using), beef broth, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Cook the Beef:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir fry the broccoli, bell pepper, mushrooms, and carrots for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.
  5. Combine and Finish:
    • Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
