Savory Beef Stir Fry Recipes

EASY BEEF STIR FRY

Steps:

• Season steak with salt & pepper. Toss with cornstarch and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
• Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or wok. Cook the beef in 2 small batches over medium high until browned, about 2-3 minutes (beef does not need to be cooked through). Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add vegetables to the pan and cook about until tender crisp, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside with the beef.
• Combine sauce ingredients except corn starch in a bowl and stir well.
• Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the sauce. Bring to a simmer. Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water (or broth) and add it the sauce a little bit at a time while whisking to reach desired consistency. Let simmer 2 minutes. Add vegetables, beef (and any juices) to the pan and cook until heated through.
• Serve with noodles or over rice.

BEEF ONION STIR-FRY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the flank steak, baking soda, cornstarch, oil, oyster sauce, and water. Mix until the liquid has been absorbed, and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
• Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and spread the beef in the wok in a single layer. Sear the meat, undisturbed, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned. Stir-fry for an additional 15-30 seconds, until about 75% cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, along with the onions. Stir-fry until the onions are seared and slightly blistered, 60-90 seconds. Remove from the wok.
• Add the prepared sauce to the wok, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 seconds, and then stir in the beef and onions for another 30 seconds. Serve over rice.
